We are looking for a PhD. student to work with us on our investigation into immune suppression and infection vulnerability after stroke. This project will focus on the lung immune environment and therapeutic interventions to improve infection clearance.

2/2 Mines depart very slightly from these, mostly in the way some questions are asked and/or answered.
As I look at your example, I would probably want to substitute the term "responsible individuals" with "researchers" and reword #4. Does your ethics committee give you some leeway to do this?

There is definitely a tension between procedural ethics and ethics-in-practice/situated ethics. I think those of us who conduct qualitative research or use community-based/participatory research approaches often have to be quite creative. Do you use lay information sheets?

It’s certainly the most comprehensive meta-analysis I’ve ever been involved with 🤓
TLDR: non-motor symptoms after stroke are common across domains and guess what? Not a great deal has changed in the last decade. A real wake up call to the field to address this huge unmet need
