At Ebed-Melech University, research is more than an academic pursuit—it is a sacred calling. Rooted in faith, guided by truth, and committed to excellence, our research culture reflects a higher purpose: to generate knowledge that heals, uplifts, and transforms lives. Every project conducted under our name carries the responsibility to honor both academic rigor and spiritual integrity.
As a faith-based global institution, we believe that research should serve humanity and glorify God. That’s why our Office of Research Oversight ensures that all scholarly activities—whether conducted by students, faculty, or partners—are grounded in ethical care, transparency, and biblical values.
Upholding Excellence through Our Ethics Review Committee
While Ebed-Melech University operates independently of federal IRB systems due to our religious status, we maintain a robust Internal Ethics Review Committee that reflects global standards of research integrity. This committee, chaired by Dr. Ian McAndrew, an internationally recognized academic leader, reviews and advises on all research involving human participants, sensitive data, and ethically complex topics.
Our process safeguards participants, ensures accountability, and empowers our students and faculty to engage in world-class research—ethically and faithfully. Whether your focus is in trauma recovery, faith-based wellness, strategic communication, or community engagement, our ethical framework equips you to conduct research that is both globally credible and spiritually aligned.
