This is the Belmont Report, a series of rules about the ethical treatment of individuals in research situations. Basically, if it sounds bad it probably is as you shouldn't be doing it #totoro #belmontreport #ethical #standards #humanresearch #totoro (at NCERC)

The Belmont Report, released by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research in 1979. The report provided the ethical framework for ensuing human participant research regulations and still serves as the basis for human participant protection legislation. The Belmont Report attempts to summarize the basic ethical principles identified by the Commission during its deliberations. It is a statement of basic ethical principles and guidelines that should assist in resolving the ethical problems that surround the conduct of research with human subjects. Unlike most other reports of the Commission, the Belmont Report does not make specific recommendations for administrative action by the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Rather, the Commission recommended that the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety, as a statement of the Department's policy. The Department requests public comment on this recommendation. The three fundamental ethical principles for using any human subjects for research are:

1.       Respect for persons: protecting the autonomy of all people and treating them with courtesy and respect and allowing for informed consent. Researchers must be truthful and conduct no deception;

2.       Beneficence: The philosophy of "Do no harm" while maximizing benefits for the research project and minimizing risks to the research subjects; and

3.       Justice: ensuring reasonable, non-exploitative, and well-considered procedures are administered fairly — the fair distribution of costs and benefits to potential research participants — and equally.
