Compliance with ethics guidelines for research are even more critical in the time of emergency public health situations such as a pandemic. Underpinned by the principles laid out in the 1979 Belmont report, conduct of research at any time should focus on respect for persons, beneficence and justice. Certain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in research ethics committees may be revised to provide a quicker turn-around and timely review. Key elements in effective review of studies include rigorousness, responsiveness and timeliness. It is crucial to recognize that ethics review committees share responsibility with researchers and its institutions, funding agencies and regulatory agencies for upholding ethical principles in research at all times.
在大流行等突发公共卫生情况下，遵守研究伦理准则更为关键。以1979年《贝尔蒙报告》中阐述的原则为基础，任何时候的研究行为都应注重对人的尊重、 beneficence和公正。研究伦理委员会的某些标准操作程序（SOP）可能会被修订，以实现更快的周转和及时的审查。有效审查研究的关键要素包括严谨性、响应性和及时性。必须认识到，伦理审查委员会与研究人员及其机构、资助机构和监管机构共同承担责任，始终在研究中坚持伦理原则。 注：“beneficence”常见释义为“善行”“慈善”等，在医学伦理语境中可灵活理解为符合伦理道德的有益性等意思 。
