Abstract
As far as the perspective frontiers of research in the realms of health care are concerned, the individuals, families, other stakeholders, organizations, nodal institutions, and communities occupy the center stage. Hence, it is in the fitness of things that whenever the considerations of funding for health services (care) research are taken into due account, the aforementioned perspective frontiers of research should necessarily encompass ethical and legal aspects of funding. These need to be clearly delineated while effecting an agreement or MoU. The current chapter provides an overview of ethical and legal aspects of funding for health care research pertaining to agreement or MoU.
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do
