5.1 Ethics
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
If these documents are not in English, you must also submit an English summary of them (containing, if available, the conclusions of the committee or authority concerned).
If you plan to request these documents specifically for the project you are proposing, your request must contain an explicit reference to the project title.
