I wonder if it means the committee deals with only one type of research. It would be interesting to know, but personally I'd just do a literal translation.
elizabeth_med (asker) Mar 4, 2020:
Sectional? Sectional is clearly the word for word translation... but what does that mean? What is a sectional ethics committee? I have never come across that term and there are no hits for it anywhere...
philgoddard Mar 4, 2020:
IRCCS ISMETT is a transplant centre.

Selected

Ethic Committe, IRCCS ISMETT branch

According to the references I posted, I would probably translate it this way.

You can also reverse it to "IRCCS ISMETT branch of the Ethic Committee" depending on which one fits better the whole title translation.

agree philgoddard : I think sectional would be fine, but you deserve kudos for going the extra mile and finding out what it means.

Peer comment(s):

agree Cedric Randolph : The question was asked, What is a sectional ethics committee? Well, it is whatever the Sicilian who decided to name their EC as such wanted it to mean. Just because it hasn't been used before doesn't make it improbable in Italy.

Reference:

Sectional meaning (in context)

In the first of these PDF files, at point 2, you can read that the EC has been established as a "section", that is a local branch, of the regional EC.

In the other file you can see the committee full name as consisting of a general part "Comitato Etico IRCCS Sicilia" and a sectional name "Sezione ISMETT IRCCS srl".
