Phase 2 Ethical Tools:

It is imperative that the highest ethical standards are upheld through each phase of a study ( see 🔗Mitigating Ethical Risks ). Research ethics ensure that we are accountable to, and build a relationship of trust and mutual respect with, study participants - this relationship is also critical to obtaining high-quality, reliable data. Research ethics also ensure that the public can trust the study findings, and are required for publication.

The IRC also maintains its own federally registered Institutional Review Board to review studies led by, or done in partnership with, the IRC. Many of these documents were developed based on years of ethical reviews by our IRB.
