How does PORE work?
The POint of REgistration registers issues so that they can be followed from start to finish.
- PORE requests may be submitted by any person within or outside the Project.
- The person may choose be identifiable or remain anonymous.
- By completing and submitting the online form below a request for advice on a specific ethical, regulatory or social issue is registered.
- Issues may be related to, but are not limited to the planning of an experiment or a phase of implementation.
- Each registered issue is received by the Ethics Rapporteur Programme lead and reviewed by the Ethics Coordination team. The team, which includes the Ethics Director, decides how best to deal with the issue.
- The registered issue may be further directed to HBP Ombudsperson or the Ethics Advisory Board (EAB).
