Human research is more than clinical trials. HRO projects are observational studies that are based on the collection or further use of biological material and/or health-related data. These projects account for almost 80% of projects submitted to the ethics committees. As the range of possible projects is large, it is often challenging to keep track of qualitative, regulatory, and legal requirements. These are set out in the Human Research Ordinance (HRO), one of the accompanying legal texts to the Human Research Act (HRA) and are not always easy to interpret.
