National Research Ethics Service

The National Research Ethics Service (NRES) is a UK organization that reviews and oversees research involving human participants to ensure it is conducted ethically and safely. Its role is to protect participants’ rights, well-being, and confidentiality while supporting researchers in designing responsible studies. NRES assesses research proposals before they start, making sure the study complies with legal and ethical standards. This process helps maintain public trust in medical and scientific research, ensuring that studies are valuable, respectful, and conducted with integrity.
