The LSE Research Ethics Policy and Code of Research Conduct form part of the School’s over-arching Ethics Code. Students may find this ‘Quick Guide to the Research Ethics Policy’ helpful.
This document has been developed for individuals and organizations involved in health-related research with human participants. In particular, this document is intended to provide guidance to the research ethics committees (RECs) on which organizations rely to review and oversee the ethical aspects of research, as well as to the researchers who design and carry out health research studies.
Prepared by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). The ethical principles set forth in these Guidelines should be upheld in the ethical review of research protocols. The ethical principles are regarded as universal.
This framework can be used as an outline in assembling data management plans to accompany grant applications. The list of elements provided is informed by a gap analysis that ICPSR conducted of existing recommendations for data management plans and other forms of guidance made available for researchers generating data.
IRBs review research proposals in order to safeguard human subjects who participate in biomedical or behavioral research. This page explain IRB review procedures for public-use as well as restricted-use data.
