Guiding Philosophy
To govern all research projects carried out by staff of NTUC First Campus (NFC), as well as any collaborative research projects with external professionals or professional organisations, the NFC Research Governance Committee (RGC) was officially set up in July 2017. With the aim of safeguarding the interests and welfare of children and families of our NFC centres who are participating in those research projects, the Ethics Committee was set up to look closely into the ethical considerations of each RGC-approved research project.
