If you have entered any ethics issues in the ethical issue table in the administrative proposal forms, you must:


· submit an ethics self-assessment, which:


o  describes how the proposal meets the national legal and ethical requirements of the country or countries where the tasks raising ethical issues are to be carried out;


o  explains in detail how you intend to address the issues in the ethical issues table, in particular as regards:


o  research objectives (e.g. study of vulnerable populations, dual use, etc.)


o  research methodology (e.g. clinical trials, involvement of children and related consent procedures, protection of any data collected, etc.)


o  the potential impact of the research (e.g. dual use issues, environmental damage, stigmatisation of particular social groups, political or financial retaliation, benefit-sharing,  malevolent use , etc.).


· provide the documents that you need under national law(if you already have them), e.g.:


o  an ethics committee opinion;


o  the document notifying activities raising ethical issues or authorising such activities
