  1. MRI Research Proposals Involving Child Subjects: Concerns Hindering Research Ethics Boards from Approving Them and a Checklist to Help Evaluate Them.J. Deborah Shiloff, Bryan Magwood & Krisztina L. Malisza - 2011 - Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 20 (1):115-129.
    The process of research is often lengthy and can be extremely arduous. It may take many years to proceed from the initial development of an idea through to the comparison of the new modalities against a current gold-standard practice. Each step along the way involves rigorous scientific review, where protocols are scrutinized by multiple scientists not only in the specific field at hand but related fields as well. In addition to scientific review, most countries require a further review by a (...)

  • Needs and preferences of REB members in the development of a new TCPS 2 training program in Canada.Jiale Xie, Denise Stockley, Amber Hastings Truelove, Susan Marlin, Rachel Zand, Jennifer Payne, Miranda Miller & Eleftherios Soleas - forthcoming - Research Ethics.
    Despite advancements in human research ethics and the growing significance of Research Ethics Board (REB) members, educational opportunities specifically tailored to their needs remain lacking in many countries. In response to this gap, our research aims to understand the demographics, needs, and preferences for educational opportunities of REB members in Canada. We conducted a survey that found REB demographics to be diverse and have different perceptions of their roles on topics such as the evaluation of the scientific merit of studies (...)

  • Research ethics committees: the role of ethics in a regulatory authority.S. McGuinness - 2008 - Journal of Medical Ethics 34 (9):695-700.
    This paper is an examination of how research ethics committees have evolved from being advisory committees to more formal regulatory authorities. It is argued that the role of ethics committees should be broader than simple ethical review. Inconsistency in outcome should not be taken to signal failure. Procedural fairness is of the utmost importance. Nor should ethics committees be seen to diminish the ethical responsibilities of researchers themselves.

  • Psychology, ethics, and research ethics boards.Donald Sharpe & Julie Ziemer - 2022 - Ethics and Behavior 32 (8):658-673.
    Research Ethics Boards (REBs) at universities are chaired and staffed by researchers who serve to enforce codes of ethics by scrutinizing research proposals. Yet there is widespread dissatisfaction with the REB approval process. This article examines the sources of that dissatisfaction, the place for codes of ethics in the conducting of research, the evidence for risk to research participants as the basis for those codes, and the effectiveness of REBs in protecting research participants. We offer suggestions for how REB chairs, (...)

  • The job of ‘ethics committees’.Andrew Moore & Andrew Donnelly - 2018 - Journal of Medical Ethics 44 (7):481-487.
    What should authorities establish as the job of ethics committees and review boards? Two answers are: review of proposals for consistency with the duly established and applicable code and review of proposals for ethical acceptability. The present paper argues that these two jobs come apart in principle and in practice. On grounds of practicality, publicity and separation of powers, it argues that the relevant authorities do better to establish code-consistency review and not ethics-consistency review. It also rebuts bad code and (...)

  • The experiences of ethics committee members: contradictions between individuals and committees.L. Elliott & D. Hunter - 2008 - Journal of Medical Ethics 34 (6):489-494.
    The current system of ethical review for medical research in the United Kingdom is changing from the current system involving large committees of 7–18 members reviewing every individual application to a system involving pre-review by small sub-committees of National Research Ethics Officers , who have a remit to approve studies if they believe there are no material ethical issues imposed by the research. The reliability of this new system depends on the reliability of the NREAs and in particular the ability (...)

  • Drip-Feeding: How the Pharmaceutical Industry Influences Research Ethics Committees.Stephen Humphreys - 2007 - Research Ethics 3 (4):113-117.
    Whilst research ethics committees exist to represent society's interests by placing appropriate checks on the economic power of ‘big pharma’, the political sphere is here seen to have generally acquiesced to economic interests and allowed industry to influence how it is regulated. RECs are accordingly urged to remain vigilant about the prospects of their being the subject of hidden influences.

  • Standards for Research Ethics Committees: Purpose, Problems and Possibilities.Hugh Davies - 2008 - Research Ethics 4 (4):152-157.
    This paper reports an initiative from the National Research Ethics Service and research ethics committees in the UK to develop a shared ethical debate between committees and to promote standards of ethical review, exploring the problems and practicalities of such an approach.

  • Standards for research ethics committees: purpose, problems and the possibilities of other approaches.H. Davies, F. Wells & M. Czarkowski - 2009 - Journal of Medical Ethics 35 (6):382-383.
    Criticism of ethical review of research continues and research ethics committees (RECs) need to demonstrate that they are “fit for purpose” by meeting acknowledged standards of process, debate and outcome. This paper reports a workshop in Warsaw in April 2008, organised by the European Forum for Good Clinical Practice, on the problems of setting standards for RECs in the European Union. Representatives from 27 countries were invited; 16 were represented. Problems identified were the limited and variable resources, difficulties of setting (...)
