Part B-2 Section 6 - Ethical Issues
Compliance with the relevant ethics provisions is essential from the beginning to the end of the action and is an integral part of research funded by the European Union within Horizon 2020. 
Applicants submitting research proposals for funding within Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions in Horizon 2020 should demonstrate proactively that they are aware of and will comply with European and national legislation and fundamental ethical principles, including those reflected in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights and its Supplementary Protocols. 
Please be aware that it is the applicants' responsibility to identify any potential ethical issue, to handle the ethical aspects of the proposal and to detail how these aspects will be addressed.
The Ethics Review Procedure in Horizon 2020
All proposals above threshold and considered for funding will be subject to an Ethics Review carried out by independent ethics experts. When submitting a proposal to Horizon 2020, all applicants are required to complete an “Ethics Issues Table (EIT)” in the Part A of the proposal. Applicants who flag ethical issues in the EIT have to complete also a more in depth Ethics Self-Assessment in Part B.
The ethics self-assessment will become part of the Grant Agreement and may thus lead to binding obligations that may later on be checked during ethics checks, reviews and audits.
For more details, please refer to the H2020 “How to complete your Ethics Self-Assessment” guide

Ethics Self-Assessment (Part B)
The Ethics Self-Assessment must:
1) 	Describe how the proposal meets the EU and national legal and ethics requirements of the country/countries where the task raising ethical issues is to be carried out. 
For more information on how to deal with Third Countries (in the context of ethics appraisal, Third Country refers to non-EU country; Associated Countries are "ethics" TC) please see Article 34 of the Annotated Model Grant Agreement, as well as the following link. Please ensure and confirm that the research performed outside the EU is compatible with the Union, National and International legislation and could have been legally conducted in one of the EU Member States.
Please list the documents provided with their expiry date. 
Ensure early compliance of the proposed research with EU and national legislation on ethics in research. Should your proposal be selected for funding, you will be required to confirm that you have obtained the following documents (if applicable):

(a) any ethics committee opinion required under national law and 

(b) any notification or authorisation for activities raising ethical issues required under national and/or European law 

needed for implementing the action tasks in question. 
If you have not already applied for/received the ethics approval/required ethics documents when submitting the proposal, please indicate in this section the approximate date when you will obtain the missing approval/any other ethics documents. Please state explicitly that you will not proceed with any research with ethical implications before obtaining the necessary authorizations/ opinions.
The documents must be kept on file and be submitted upon request by the beneficiary to the Agency (see Article 52). If they are not in English, they must be submitted together with an English summary, which shows that the action tasks in question are covered and includes the conclusions of the committee or authority concerned (if available). 
If you plan to request these ethics documents specifically for your proposed action, your request must contain an explicit reference to the action's title.

2) 	Explain in detail how you intend to address the ethical issues flagged, in particular with regard to:
•	the research objectives (e.g. study of vulnerable populations, cooperation with a Third Country, etc.);
•	the research methodology (e.g. clinical trials, involvement of children and related information and consent/assent procedures, data protection and privacy issues related to data collected, etc.); 
•	the potential impact of the research (e.g. dual use issues, environmental damage, malevolent use, etc.).
•	appropriate health and safety procedures - conforming to relevant local/national guidelines/legislation - for the staff involved
•	possible harm to the environment the research might cause, (as an example:  environmental risks of nanomaterials), and measures that will be taken to mitigate the risks.

Part B-2 Section 7 - Letter of Commitment (GF only)
	
For the Global Fellowship proposals, a letter of Commitment of the partner organisations (hosting the outgoing phase in a third country) must be included in part B-2 to ensure their real and active participation. these should not be attached as a separate PDF file or as an embedded file since this makes them invisible.
GF Proposals which fail to include a letter of commitment of the partner organisation will be declared inadmissible.
Minimum requirements for the letter of commitment:  
•	heading or stamp from the institution;
•	up-to-date (may not be dated prior to the call publication);
•	the text must demonstrate the will to actively participate in the (identified) proposed action and the precise role.
Please note that no template for these letters is provided, only general rules.
