The main objective of this study is to use the indicators developed as a tool to evaluate the performance of the Research Ethics Committee of a Federal institution in Rio de Janeiro, regarding the efficiency and effectiveness of its operation, and determine the reasons that make that the length of the approval process of the analyzed projects exceeds the 60-day goal. Based on a review of the literature, indicators were developed to evaluate the processes of the RES using a structure-process-result model. To observe trends in the indicators evaluated, the data related to all the protocols submitted to the RES between January 2009 and December 2014 were extracted and analyzed. The ethics committee of the present study used indicators to identify the critical points of its processes in order to improve its performance.
