Abstract:
This article aimed at reflecting and discussing about some difficulties in the submission and evaluation of scientific projects to the Research Ethics Committee, from an experience in post-graduation. Among these difficulties, there was a need for submission of a single project to several CEP as demand for part of the health facilities involved, which showed discrepancies with regard to the matter. Another issue, involving the reports, which are still based on biomedical models, which hinder the evaluation of research projects in nursing and other sciences. However, one of the great challenges of CEP is to ensure that researches with human beings are carried out within an ethics framework, without be an obstacle to their development.
