Register a long-duration human study

An ethics opinion and required protections before recruitment.

ETHauthorityUnion-wide competence

What this procedure decides

Register a human study with meaningful consent and long-duration duties.

Independent reviewers examine recruitment, withdrawal, privacy, ongoing support and the fate of obligations if the sponsor closes. Clinical and protection findings remain with their competent bodies.

Acting in the right capacity

Companies and cooperatives

Suppliers, licensed operators, enterprises, worker-owned organisations and professional providers. Name the legal or cooperative operator, your authority to act and any supplier or utility interfaces. Commercial, technical and civic permissions remain separate findings.

Research and civic organisations

Laboratories, universities, observatories, associations, cultural organisations and public-interest networks. Name the accountable organisation, research or civic purpose, relevant ethics or protection review and the custodian who can authorise source access.

Public administrations

Local councils, regional offices, Union bodies and authorised public-service delegates. Name the originating power, receiving scope, authorised delegate, reserved decisions and the event at which the other office accepts a duty.

Prepare assessable evidence

  1. Protocol and consent

    Identify the source custodian, version and purpose of protocol and consent. The protocol, consent process and participant protections identify what the study proposes. Dependence on an employer or essential-service operator is assessed as a consent concern, not ignored by a signature.

  2. Risk and benefit analysis

    For risk and benefit analysis, name the receiving scope and any outstanding acceptance. Explain a missing or disputed element instead of silently replacing it with an unrelated record.

  3. Independent participant support

    For independent participant support, provide the independently assessable finding or agreed alternative. State its conditions, expiry or material-change trigger; a favourable summary is not a substitute for the source.

Alternative evidence and a disputed source

Identify the missing element, its custodian and the alternative you can provide. Preserve conflicting versions and explain the difference. The receiving office states what it can establish and which question remains open.

Read the result before accepting its scope

A bounded ethical finding, required protocol revisions, a consent renewal condition or a reasoned negative finding.

Changes in exposure, sponsorship or purpose can require renewed consent. Withdrawal, later care and record custody remain explicit duties.

Who can use this service

An accountable research institution or public study sponsor with a qualified care interface and independent ethics review. Participants and representatives retain a separate route for consent and welfare concerns.

The applicable safeguard

Long-lived projects must name the people and institutions bearing future burdens

Prepare a request

The online workflow supports residents and authorized representatives, operators, researchers and public delegates. A saved receipt stays on this browser. The PDF packet provides a fillable offline record.

Timing, costs and review

The local register issues a receipt when the request is recorded. Published service clocks use receipt and verified-completeness events; numeric deadlines remain charter decisions in this fictional edition.

Any fee, exemption or numeric deadline must be published by the competent institution. This edition does not invent a currency or fee schedule.
