Sample Page 26 of 27 The identification of tangible risks in a research project should be clearly balanced against the benefits and value that is to be gained for health, science and society. We recognise that most research could conceivably generate results that might hypothetically be misused at some point in the future, and we are not asking applicants to appraise these kinds of remote and hypothetical risks.
