ethics boards

Ethics boards are committees formed to review and oversee research studies or projects involving human participants. Their purpose is to ensure the work respects participants' rights, safety, and well-being while adhering to ethical standards and legal regulations. They evaluate research proposals to prevent harm, ensure informed consent, and promote honesty. By doing so, ethics boards help maintain public trust in scientific and medical advancements, balancing innovation with responsibility. They play a crucial role in safeguarding ethical integrity throughout the research process.
