Human Subject Protection

Human Subject Protection refers to the ethical standards and guidelines that ensure individuals participating in research are treated with respect, safety, and fairness. It involves obtaining informed consent, minimizing risks, and safeguarding personal information. The goal is to protect participants from harm and ensure their rights and well-being are prioritized throughout the study. Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) review research protocols to enforce these protections, maintaining ethical conduct and public trust in scientific research involving people.
