About the Article
This article explores emerging trends in research ethics and data privacy affecting non-profit organizations. It examines challenges introduced by digital research, global collaborations, large-scale data sharing, and emerging technologies such as AI, big data, and machine learning. Anticipated changes in regulatory frameworks, including GDPR and CCPA, and the introduction of new international standards require proactive adaptation. The article emphasizes sustainable ethical practices through flexible frameworks, continuous researcher training, and affordable data protection strategies suitable for resource-limited contexts. Case studies illustrate how non-profits can embed ethics into organizational culture, balance innovation with responsibility, and maintain participant trust while navigating complex, evolving ethical landscapes.
