Introduction
Ethical researchers act in honest ways. Ethics are conduct
norms or standards that distinguish between right and wrong
and acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. Ethical
considerations matter because they guard against the fabrication
or falsification of data. They promote the pursuit of knowledge
and truth, research’s primary goal. Ethical behavior is also
crucial for collaborative work because it encourages an
environment of trust, accountability, and mutual respect among
team members. Likewise, researchers must adhere to ethical
standards for the public to support and believe in the research.
Although most quality improvement and evidence based
practice projects pose minimal risk to human subjects, an IRB
screening process for your capstone project is required to ensure
the project is meeting the appropriate ethical standards.
The Nuremberg Code (1947) protects human rights and is the

2. leading code for conducting ethical research. It focuses on:
Voluntary informed consent.
Freedom to withdraw from research.
Protection from physical and mental harm.
Protection from suffering and death.
It also emphasizes the risk-benefit balance of conducting
research. The Declaration of Helsinki (1964) underscored the
importance of protecting subjects in research and strongly
proclaimed that individuals’ well-being takes precedence over
scientific and social interests.
Good research is well planned, appropriately designed, and
ethically approved. Developing and following a research
protocol helps to ensure this. Research needs to seek to answer
specific questions rather than just collect data. Researchers
must obtain approval from the Institutional Review Board or
Ethics Committee. Researchers also need to pay special
attention to vulnerable subjects to avoid breech of ethical codes.
Although most quality improvement and evidence based
practice projects pose minimal risk to human subjects, an IRB
screening process for your capstone project is required to ensure
the project is meeting the appropriate ethical standards.
The major ethical issues in conducting research usually involve:
Informed consent.
Beneficence—do no harm.

3. Respect for anonymity and confidentiality.
Respect for privacy.
You are responsible to ensure your project is conducted
ethically and responsibly from planning to publication. Be
familiar with ethical principles and follow them strictly.
Discuss openly with the project team any potential ethical
issues. If in doubt, consult the Institutional Review Board (IRB)
for expert opinion and direction.
In this assessment, you will apply what you have learned from
the CITI training and from your independent research on ethics
to your doctoral project. In a 6- to 8-page paper plus a template,
you will identify ethical considerations that may arise as part of
your doctoral project. You will also identify strategies to
address these ethical considerations.

Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will
demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies
through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 2: Apply strategies to maintain a climate of mutual

4. respect and shared values.
Apply historical ethical principles to analyze potential ethical
concerns related to your doctoral project.
Determine vulnerability or possible concerns for identified
project participants.
Create strategies to address potential ethical risks related to the
doctoral project.
Describe the IRB processes to be completed prior to starting the
data collection process.
Describe possible future changes to your doctoral project that
would require IRB approval and the process to follow to obtain
this approval.
Competency 4: Address assessment purpose in a well-organized
text, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in
grammatically sound sentences.
Create a clear, well-organized, succinct, professional ethics
analysis paper that uses appropriate tone and is generally free
from errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Integrate relevant sources to support arguments, correctly
formatting citations and references using APA style.

5. Preparation
To successfully prepare for this assessment, you will need to
conduct independent research on ethics related to research
studies. You will be asked to supply a minimum of five
references in your ethics analysis paper over and above those
provided under suggested resources.
Rather than researching the importance of ethical practice
(which of course is very important), focus your research efforts
on other research studies that have been conducted that are
similar to your proposed research. For example:
Can you locate other studies that took place in a setting similar
to yours?
What other studies exist that used participants similar to yours?
What studies can you find that address a problem similar to
yours?
Do other studies exist that used research tools similar to yours,
such as surveys, questionnaires, health behavior models,
performance improvement plans, et cetera?
Examine current resources available through peer-reviewed
articles and professional and government websites. These guides
can help you identify scholarly and authoritative sources:
Instructions

6. For this assessment, you will write a 6- to 8-page ethics
analysis paper. Include the following headings in your paper
and be sure to address the bullets underneath each heading:
Introduction
In brief, what is your project about?
Who are the major stakeholders involved?
History of Research Ethics
What are the major principles in the history of research ethics?
How do autonomy, beneficence, malfeasance, and distributive
justice specifically apply to your project?
Human Subjects/Participants
What human subjects/participants, if any, will be part of your
project?
What are the exclusion and inclusion criteria for any people
who are part of your study?
