0186/2017 - Ética em pesquisa no sistema cep-conep brasileiro: Reflexões necessárias. Research ethics in the brazilian system cep-conep: Necessary reflections.
O Brasil conta com um reconhecido sistema de avaliação ética das pesquisas envolvendo seres humanos - Sistema CEP-CONEP, em funcionamento há 20 anos. Entretanto, observa-se que as suas eficácia e efetividade, nestes últimos anos, vêm sendo questionadas, criticadas e colocadas em cheque. Trata-se de um ensaio, com base em vivências da autora enquanto docente na área de bioética, pesquisadora e ex-coordenadora de CEP, com o objetivo de refletir, de forma crítica, a respeito do papel da ética como fio condutor de todas as etapas do processo de pesquisa e discutir alguns impasses, lacunas e questões desafiadoras que deverão ser considerados e enfrentados com urgência pelo Sistema CEP-CONEP. Discutem-se questões que merecem ser reavaliadas permanentemente para se enfrentar os inúmeros desafios, propiciando um real avanço científico aliado ao avanço ético-social, por exemplo: a questão da importância social do estudo e seu retorno e/ou contribuição à sociedade; os aspectos éticos e políticos envolvidos nas prioridades de pesquisas; o avanço da básica apreciação inicial da pesquisa e da simples avaliação normativa; necessidade de valorização e reconhecimento do trabalho dos Comitês; o descrédito do Sistema por precariedade de infraestrutura, os cuidados pós-estudo, dentre outros.

Questions that deserve to be permanently and critically reevaluated are discussed, to cope with countless challenges, providing a real scientific advance, linked with the social-ethics advance of science, for example: The issue of social importance of the study and its return/contribution to society; the ethical and political aspects involved in the research priorities; the advance of the basic initial appreciation and of the simple regulation evaluation; the need of valorization and recognition of the Ethics Committees’ job; the System’s discredit for the infrastructure precariousness, the post-studies cares, among others.
