 _Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research_
 The _Belmont Report_ was written by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. The Commission, created as a result of the National Research Act of 1974, was charged with identifying the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects and developing guidelines to assure that such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. Informed by monthly discussions that spanned nearly four years and an intensive four days of deliberation in 1976, the Commission published the _Belmont Report_, which identifies basic ethical principles and guidelines that address ethical issues arising from the conduct of research with human subjects.
