The University of Northern Philippines – Ethics Review Committee (UNP-ERC) was accredited Level 1 by the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board (PHREB) through the Regional Ethics Monitoring Board – 1 (REMB-1) with 1 year validity.
 
The UNP-ERC submitted their application last August 2018 which were evaluated by the REMB-1 Committee on Standards and Accreditation (CSA) who gave their recommendations to improve their operations.
