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
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.
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.
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.
An ethics opinion and required protections before recruitment.
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.
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.
