Abstract

A Research Ethics Committee (CEP, the Portuguese acronym) should encourage the development of research on research ethics.The aim of this article is to describe the potential and obstacles encountered in the study of CEPs at state universities in Bahia(Brazil), based on an experience in graduate school. One of the obstacles was the refusal of some CEP to cooperate with the study,which necessitated creating new criteria for the make-up of the sample. As for the potential, other CEPs and many researcherswere receptive to the study in question. It was concluded that some CEPs appear to be unaware of their role and the importance ofexercising their duties with transparency. Furthermore, there needs to be greater circulation of information on CEPs.
