JARAMILLO ARBELAEZA, Patricia Elena et al. Bioethical Foundations Used by Ethics Committees for the Evaluation of Research on Human Beings, in Antioquia. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp.75-91.  Epub Dec 31, 2021. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.5268.

Research ethics committees (REC) are interdisciplinary groups responsible for the evaluation of research projects in which human beings take part directly or indirectly. RECS have different functions, procedures, and basics, both national and international, under which they are governed to carry out their function. The aim of the project is to describe bioethical foundations that consider REC when establishing a research project evaluation criterion, for this, a semi-structured interview (survey) was carried out with a member or the REC in full. The results obtained show a difference in the application of the basics, which in some cases depends on whether REC is certified or not. It was found that RECS do not use the same grounds, because they are not known, they are not applicable or partially apply. It is concluded that all RECS apply Resolution 008430 of 1993 for evaluation, however, they are flexible in their application because they do not include the diversity and complexity of the current research, so it is urgent to update it.

Keywords : Research ethics committees; bioethics; human beings; research projects; grounds; principles; standards; universities; hospitals.
