An Ethical Review is a process that evaluates research proposals to ensure they meet ethical standards. This review is typically conducted by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or an ethics committee, which assesses the potential risks and benefits of the research, particularly concerning the treatment of human or animal subjects. The goal is to protect participants' rights and welfare while promoting responsible research practices. During the ethical review, researchers must provide detailed information about their study, including how they will obtain informed consent from participants and how they will ensure confidentiality. The review process helps to maintain public trust in research by ensuring that ethical guidelines, such as those outlined in the Belmont Report, are followed.
