This study examines the normative development of ethical guidelines applicable to research in the Human, Social, and Applied Social Sciences (HSASS) in Brazil, focusing on the analysis of Resolution no. 674, dated May 6, 2022. The objective is to understand how these regulatory changes impact the adequacy of ethical evaluation for qualitative and participatory methodologies. Adopting a qualitative and documentary approach, the study reviews the main resolutions. The results indicate that, despite advancements, ethical evaluation in HSASS continues to face challenges due to the persistence of the biomedical model. Approval deadlines, bureaucratization, and the biomedical paradigm are the main obstacles. It is concluded that, for full adequacy, structural changes are necessary, such as the creation of specific risk categories and the decentralization of the system formed by the Research Ethics Committee and the National Research Ethics Commission (CEP/CONEP System). This work contributes to the debate by proposing measures that may facilitate a more inclusive ethical regulation adjusted to the methodological demands of HSASS.
Keywords: Research ethics. CEP/CONEP System. Resolution no. 674/2022.
