Research Ethics Committee (CEP) | São Leopoldo Mandic

Research Ethics Committee

The Research Ethics Committee (CEP) of São Leopoldo Mandic College (MANDIC), in its advisory, deliberative, and educational roles, evaluates and monitors the ethical and scientific aspects of research involving human subjects, either directly or indirectly.

To this end, the committee follows international and Brazilian ethical guidelines (CNS Resolutions No. 466/2012 and 510/2016, CNS Operational Standard 001/2013, and Circular Letter 166/2018), which aim to safeguard the interests of research participants in terms of their integrity and dignity and to contribute to the development of science within ethical standards.

Through the Primer on the Rights of Research Participants, research participants and researchers can learn about their rights and responsibilities.

CEP-MANDIC is subordinate to and accredited by the National Research Ethics Commission (CONEP) of the National Health Council (CNS); it has a multiprofessional composition and operates in a multidisciplinary manner, aiming to ensure pluralism in decisions regarding issues related to ethics and research.
