Three important innovations by Dr Campbell included: • The application process. Dr Campbell introduced the current application which he has refined over the years. It is clear and user-friendly and now completely online. • The mandatory research ethics course for researchers applying for IRB approval. To facilitate this, Dr Campbell arranged access to the CITI ethics programme for all UWI Campuses. • Dr Campbell conducts frequent research ethics training for several Cave Hill programmes, including the Postgraduate Research Supervisors’ Course, the FMS Postgraduate Research Course, and several faculties. He has presented at many continuing medical education activities in Barbados and regionally. The IRB has facilitated the prompt start of research projects, several of which are complex internationally funded projects extending over prolonged periods of time. The efficiency and reliability of the local IRB compares favourably with those of other countries. This is evident when Cave Hill researchers participate in multi-country projects. Dr Campbell’s service has not been restricted to the IRB. It has included chairing the UWI HIV and AIDS Response Programme (UWIHARP) since 2010; editing the CANREC Bulletin, a CAPRHA research ethics publication; serving as vice-chair of the CARPHA Research Ethics Committee; serving on the CARPHA COVID-19 Expert Advisory Group; serving as president of the Barbados Society of Psychology; serving on the Executive of the Caribbean Network of Research Ethics Committees; serving on the Disaster Mental Health Standing Committee of the Caribbean Alliance of National Psychology Associations; working to address the impact of stigma on medical education and healthcare systems through service, teaching, and empirical research; serving on the Psychosocial Support Team of the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) where he provides education and direct mental health support to persons affected by disaster, especially military, healthcare personnel, and emergency responders. Dr Campbell has somehow found the time to teach students, supervise or co-supervise over 20 postgraduate students, and publish 18 peer-reviewed journal articles and five refereed book chapters.
