Ethics Tracker: your research approvals, no longer scattered

Running a study in Nepal means satisfying ethics review, and that means a chain of approvals: submission, clearance, consent, amendments, renewals. Each step has a deadline, a form, and a version, and the whole chain usually lives in email threads and printed folders.

The problem: approval paperwork that outlasts the study

Studies can be held up by a lapsed clearance or a superseded consent form, discovered late. Review boards and funders ask for the complete file, and assembling it from scratch, under deadline, is exactly how studies stall.

What Ethics Tracker is

Ethics Tracker is a research ethics and clearance tracker. It holds the checklist for your submission, tracks dates and clearance-expiry reminders, and keeps every consent-form version and amendment dated and queryable, so the file your review board or funder asks for is already assembled.

What it is worth to you

  • No silent lapses. Reminders before a clearance or consent renewal quietly expires.
  • An audit trail on demand. Every version, amendment, and acknowledgement, dated.
  • Nepal-shaped. Checklists and templates aligned with how ethics review actually runs here.

Why this and not a folder

A folder holds papers; it does not remind, version, or answer. Ethics Tracker turns scattered approvals into a single, current, auditable record, so the paperwork stays a step behind the work instead of ahead of it.
