Focusing on the distinction between research and program evaluation, the guidelines emphasize that research aims to produce new, generalizable knowledge rather than knowledge limited to specific individuals or programs. It encompasses both medical and behavioral studies related to health, which can occur within or outside clinical settings. The research methodologies may involve observation, interventions, or the use of existing records, highlighting the diverse approaches in health research. These guidelines aim to ensure ethical practices in biomedical research involving human subjects.
