ESRC（2010）研究伦理框架在三个重要方面扩展了其 2005 年研究伦理框架的职权范围：该系统将是完全强制性的，并且将不再可能证明不会出现异常的伦理问题；根据 ESRC 2005 年文件设立的研究伦理委员会 (REC) 扩大了职权范围，包括审查 ESRC 和其他资助机构接受的所有研究提案；资金将取决于 REC 审查，其权限贯穿项目的整个生命周期。对2010年的文件进行了详细审查，得出的结论是它不符合目的。讨论了FRE文件提出的六个更广泛的问题：ESRC的协商过程不充分，未获得社会科学界的知情同意；所涉及的道德蔓延将涉及不必要的官僚化； REC 将使用不道德的通才标准在没有专业学科特定知识的情况下运作；长期的整体影响将损害研究基础； FRE 文件令人无法接受地忽视了专业协会及其研究道德准则； ESRC 的资助申请专家同行评审系统将受到破坏。
The ESRC's (2010) Framework for Research Ethics extends the remit of its 2005 research ethics framework in three significant ways: the system is to be fully mandatory and it will no longer be possible to make the case that no out of the ordinary ethical issues arise; the Research Ethics Committees (RECs) set up under the ESRC's 2005 document have extended remit, including reviewing all research proposals accepted by the ESRC and other funding bodies; and funding will depend on the REC review, with its purview extending through a project's life. The 2010 document is reviewed in detail and the conclusion is drawn that it is not fit for purpose. Six wider issues raised by the FRE document are discussed: the consultation process by the ESRC was insufficient and the informed consent of the social science community was not obtained; the ethics creep involved will involve unnecessary bureaucratisation; the RECs will operate without expert discipline-specific knowledge using unethical generalist criteria; the overall effects long-term will be deleterious to the research base; the FRE document unacceptably ignores the professional associations and their research ethics guidelines; and the ESRC's system of the expert peer review of funding applications will be undermined.
