The Federal Government says it will roll out an electronic portal for the submission and approval of health research proposals, aimed at improving transparency and efficiency in the country’s research ecosystem.
The Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Salako, made this known on Thursday during a two-day workshop on the Electronic Portal Protocol Management System and National Ethics Standardisation Sensitisation, held in Abuja.
Salako, who was represented by the Director of Planning, Research and Statistics, Dr. Kamil Shotirere, said the digital platform was undergoing testing and would be ready for full deployment by the end of 2025, with proposal submissions expected to start earlier.
