CHANGER EU Project
CHAllenges and innovative chaNGes in research Ethics Reviews (CHANGER) is a three-year Coordination and Support Action (CSA) project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon WIDERA programme aiming to promote changes in research ethics reviews by strengthening the capacities of researchers to incorporate ethical judgements in the project design and implementation, and by supporting capacity building of Research Ethics Committees (RECs) to address new challenges posed by new technologies and new research practices.
Evidence and Gap Map (EGM)
The collected evidence base was used to create Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) – systematic and visual presentation of the availability of evidence for the identified challenges to ethics review. In this way, critically appraised evidence is provided in a clear and actionable format to all stakeholders. Rows represent the selected topics, and columns represent the challenges to ethics reviews. The data was visualised using Python (3.8.19) and Matplotlib library.
