Description

This session will introduce a research ethics and quality framework that considers multiple principles of research including relevance, scientific credibility, legitimacy, and effectiveness. The panel will then provide examples of protocols and procedures they have found relevant to their work that include:

• Ethical considerations and national and institutional review boards for research ethics. 
• Key steps that young researchers need to consider for acceptable research ethics and quality. 
• How to improve research design for studies illustrated with examples (for example clinical trial registration).
• Data quality and accessibility.
• Engagement of participants of research and feedback of results to stakeholders.
