A regional committee consists of at least 7 members, of which 3 are active in health science research. Other members are lay members who do not have a health science education and are not currently affiliated with the health professions. Most committees consist of 11 members (6 laypersons and 5 research-active).
The committees are appointed by the regional councils.
A regional committee handles health science research projects from a responsible researcher who operates within the regional committee's area.
