Human research protection

Human research protection ensures that people participating in studies or experiments are treated ethically and safely. It involves following rules and guidelines to respect their rights, privacy, and well-being. Before a study begins, research plans are reviewed by special committees to confirm risks are minimized and benefits outweigh them. Participants must give informed consent, understanding what the study involves. These protections help prevent harm, maintain trust, and ensure that research contributes valuable knowledge without exploiting individuals.
