Summary: 
Research project describing the issues and difficulties community based organizations in accessing ethical review. Traditional academic and clinical Research Ethics Boards are not sensitive to the needs of community based researchers, are unfamiliar with community based research methodology or the ethical concerns of community based populations of study. Development of autonomous, informed, community based research ethics committees [Research Ethics Boards] is recommended to address these issues and to provide a cooperative forum for consultation with and guidance to community based researchers.
