虽然临床伦理学已经成为一个中心，欢迎，医疗保健景观的组成部分，研究伦理咨询服务仍然是罕见的。事实上，在人类受试者的研究中，解决伦理问题的通常方法主要是监管。尽管如此，伦理问题也出现在研究的背景下，因此研究人员和研究伦理学家之间的合作是必要的，因为医生和临床伦理学家之间的合作。作者认为，研究伦理咨询服务的使用对临床科学家、生物伦理学家、研究机构和研究对象都有好处。这种服务可以提高研究人员对其工作所涉道德问题的敏感性，导致更好的机构研究政策，并促进发展一种能够接受道德冲突的识别和解决的组织文化。最后，作者描述了康奈尔大学威尔医学院这样一个研究伦理咨询服务的发展和实施过程。
Although clinical ethics has become a central, and welcome, component of the health care landscape, research ethics consultation services are still uncommon. Indeed, the usual approach to ethical concerns in research with human subjects has been primarily a regulatory one. Nonetheless, ethical problems also arise in the context of research and thus collaborations between investigators and research ethicists are as essential as those between physicians and clinical ethicists. The authors argue that the use of research ethics consultation services can be of benefit to clinical scientists, bioethicists, research institutions, and research subjects. Such services can increase sensitivity among researchers to the ethical implications of their work, result in better institutional research policies, and facilitate the development of an organizational culture that is receptive to the identification and resolution of ethical conflicts. The authors conclude by describing the process of development and implementation of such a research ethics consultation service at Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
