Human Subjects Protection refers to the ethical and legal guidelines that ensure the safety and rights of individuals participating in research studies. This framework is designed to minimize risks and maximize benefits for participants, ensuring that their well-being is prioritized throughout the research process. Key components of Human Subjects Protection include informed consent, where participants are fully informed about the study's purpose and potential risks, and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), which review research proposals to ensure ethical standards are met. These measures help maintain trust between researchers and participants while promoting responsible research practices.
