Local Research Ethics Committees
A network of research ethics committees (RECs) across the country are responsible for reviewing and providing ethics approval for health research applications in different settings. Some RECs are part of a particular organisation, such as a hospital or a university, while others have a regional remit.
NRECs work alongside these local RECs in a mixed model system of research ethics review to support the spectrum of health research in Ireland. We aim to be a partner to local RECs, supporting their work by adding efficiency and cohesion to the system of ethics review in Ireland.
The HSE R&D team has established a working group to focus on the reform of the HSE research ethics committee system. This reform will enable the future alignment with the NREC system and integration with local governance structures. For further information please contact [email protected] .
NRECs and local RECs have distinct remits: NRECs are responsible for reviewing and providing ethics approval for research applications in a limited number of specifically defined areas (visit our Committees pages for more details on each NREC’s remit). For research proposals of any other kind, it is local RECs who are responsible for review and approval.
It should be noted that in the case of clinical trials, a number of ‘recognised RECs’ review applications that fall under the remit of NREC-CT. The majority of these RECs have agreed to run concurrently with NREC-CT for the first six months of the NREC’s operation.

History of Astrakhan Oblast
In ancient times, the territory of the Astrakhan region was crossed by trade routes of the Persians and the Arabs. In the 8th-10th centuries, the territory belonged to the Khazar Khanate. There is a hypothesis that Itil, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, was located on this territory. It was destroyed by Prince Svyatoslav in 965.
Later, Polovtsy settled on this land. In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongol-Tatars came to the area. After them, Tatars of the Astrakhan Khanate and Kazakhs became the main population of the region.
In 1556, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the Astrakhan Khanate was annexed to the Russian state and ceased to exist. Astrakhan krai became the southeastern military outpost of Russia. In particular, in 1569, the Turks unsuccessfully besieged the fortress of Astrakhan.
In the 17th century, trade, fishing and salt industries developed in the region. In the middle of the 17th century, the uprising of Stepan Razin took place on the territory of Astrakhan region. In 1722, near the mouth of the Kutum River, a shipyard called the Astrakhan Admiralty was built. In the 1730s-1740s, the processing of silk and cotton began here.
Astrakhan Oblast was created in 1943. The region gained its current borders in 1957.

This thesis examines how and under what influences communities of Islamic faith have developed in post-Soviet Russia. My arguments are based on research conducted in Astrakhan, Russia in the summer of 2009. Astrakhan is the capital of Astrakhan Oblast in southwest Russia and has a reputation for being a multi-confessional and multi-ethnic city. Astrakhan is home to Russians, Tatars, Kazakhs, Kalmyks, and many other nationalities. I draw from interviews and newspaper analysis to examine what the local landscape of Islam looks like in Astrakhan, how has it changed since the collapse of the USSR, and what future trends are emerging. Mosque renovations and demolitions are the center of my analysis.
Drawing on scholarship in critical geopolitics and critical geographies of religion, this paper seeks to understand how the Kremlin and other levels of government influence the development of Islam locally within Astrakhan. Interviews are used to study local understandings of the changing forms of Islam in Astrakhan, and to see if locals believe that the state has been supportive to the Islamic community. My research contributes to wider scholarship on the importance of the relationship between the state and local Islamic communities for Islamic nation-building in the Russian Federation.
