An Institutional Review Board is a committee established to review and monitor biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the rights, welfare, and safety of participants are protected by evaluating the ethical aspects of the research proposals.

Ethical oversight in research involves a thorough review process to ensure that studies are conducted in a manner that respects the dignity and safety of human subjects. This includes evaluating the balance of risks and benefits, ensuring informed consent, and maintaining adherence to established ethical guidelines and regulations.

Human Subjects Protection

Human subjects protection is a fundamental aspect of research ethics, focusing on safeguarding the well-being and rights of research participants. This involves scrutinizing study protocols to ensure that they minimize risk, respect autonomy, and provide comprehensive measures to protect participants from harm.
