Presentation for Ethics Appreciation

According to CNS Resolution No. 510 of 2016 must be submitted for ethical consideration to a Research Ethics Committee (CEP), exclusively via Platform Brazil, scientific research projects, carried out in Brazilian territory, involving:

  1. Generation of data with human beings (research participants), and/or
  2. That the research team has access to identifiable data of other human beings, and/or
  3. That entail greater risks than those existing in everyday life.

The presentation of the research project for ethical appreciation is not done in isolation, that is, a set of documents is presented (research project, model of free and informed consent, institutional authorizations, etc.) that together are called research protocol.

The presentation of research protocols for ethical appreciation by CEP-CHS/Unicamp must take place before the generation of data and/or management of identifiable information, since after generating data with human beings it is no longer possible to fully ensure the protection of research participants, which is the main function of the System of Ethics Committees in force in Brazil .
