Description
Lauren Sauer and co-authors review in 2026 how to protect people in research during emergencies. Such times include disease outbreaks and natural disasters. In these times, ethics review is harder to do well. It is also hard to keep work sound and to keep at-risk groups safe. Yet research in a crisis is key to a better public health response. So review must be both fast and safe.
The team did an integrative review of rapid and emergency review boards. They looked at work on disasters, disease emergencies, humanitarian crises, and public health emergencies. They picked papers by set rules and drew out shared themes and gaps. Their findings stress that review boards need strong support before and during emergencies. They urge pre-approved protocols, more training, and more funds and resources for this work.
