Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

25.8K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

The Scientific Method

68.4K
Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

The Scientific Method

270.0K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

FDA Approved Drugs: Changes to Approved Drugs

273
Post-approval, manufacturers may modify an approved new or generic drug product. Such modifications can encompass alterations in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), manufacturing process, formulation, batch size, manufacturing site, and container closure system (FDA Guidance for Industry, April 2004). Often, a drug product may undergo multiple changes.These modifications require careful evaluation to determine their potential impact on the drug product's identity, strength, quality,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Research Governance

Background:

  • Research Ethics Committees (RECs) are crucial for overseeing ethical research conduct.
  • RECs comprise a minimum of five members, including laypersons and ethics experts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the essential components of a research protocol submitted to RECs.
  • To detail the requirements for ethical research review and approval.

Main Methods:

  • Submission of a comprehensive research protocol to the REC.
  • Inclusion of principal investigator's curriculum vitae and detailed research plan.
  • Description of target population, consent forms, and risk mitigation strategies.

Main Results:

  • RECs mandate thorough documentation for ethical approval.
  • Protocols must detail research rationale, literature review, and participant information.
  • Any protocol amendments require REC reporting and approval.

Conclusions:

  • Adherence to REC-approved protocols is mandatory for researchers.
  • RECs play a vital role in safeguarding research integrity and participant welfare.
