Last updated: 30 October 2026. This guide explains how Deputy Deans of Research review and endorse ethics applications that have been verified by the Supervisor before submission to UMREC.
Applications must obtain both Supervisor and Deputy Dean of Research endorsements by the 23rd of the month at 6:00 PM to meet the review-cycle cutoff. Applications still awaiting either endorsement after the cutoff will be deferred to the next review cycle. For example, applications endorsed at both levels by 23 November, 6:00 PM enter the December review cycle; those missing the cutoff enter the January review cycle.
Deputy Deans of Research must sign in using their personal Universiti Malaya Google account registered in the system. Receiving notifications through the Faculty's shared DDR email account does not grant endorsement access through that shared account.
Applicants, supervisors and Deputy Deans (Research) should refer to the relevant UMREAS guidelines above for submission and endorsement procedures.
For faculty-related enquiries, contact the Research Office at tdp_fpe@um.edu.my, khairiha@um.edu.my or maz79@um.edu.my.
