title: Better safe than sorry: ethics review in European Union-funded health research.
abstract: Public scrutiny and the increasing number of projects addressing later stages of the research and innovation process announced the need for an enhanced attention to be paid to identify and address ethics concerns. Ex-ante ethics review as implemented in EU-funded health research and a proactive ethics management are a genuinely useful exercise and ensures top-quality research, from the lab to the patient.
