THE PREPARED CODE: A Global Code of Conduct for Research during Pandemics

Research ethics and integrity challenges during pandemics are not unique, but they are vastly magnified during crises. The PREPARED Code for researchers, research ethics committees and research integrity offices applies throughout a pandemic. The code was developed by an international consortium and is based on research undertaken in English, Chinese, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish. It was refined through a human rights analysis and extensive consultation with stakeholders. Input from marginalized populations was obtained at every stage.

THE PREPARED CODE:

• Respects the Declaration of Helsinki as the primary source of research ethics guidance during pandemics.
• Provides support across all research disciplines.
• Presents concise statements in clear language to encourage access.
• Combines guidance on research ethics and integrity.
• Complements the TRUST Code and the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, because the risks of inequitable research and breaches of research integrity can increase during a crisis.
• Links each guidance article to the values of fairness, respect, care and honesty.

VISION: Pandemic research should be trustworthy and the results accessible to all

Trust Code Interactive Training

The Global Code of Conduct for Equitable Research Partnerships, also known as the TRUST Code, was developed to address “ethics dumping”, where researchers conduct studies in low- or middle-income settings that would be unethical or prohibited in high-income countries

Its ensures research is grounded in the core values of fairness, respect, care, and honesty and has become a mandatory reference document for recipients of EU funding and has been adopted by research institutions all around the world.

The interactive Trust Code Training aims to educate researchers and research stakeholders on the ethical foundations and recommendations of the TRUST Code, ultimately fostering equitable global research collaborations.
