Guidance on ethical issues in research involving humans
New online ethics system for research involving humans
There is a new online ethics system for ethics applications and review of research involving human participants, data and samples.
All Schools are now using the new system. Please use this to submit your ethics application:
You may need to use the Word form for amendments if your application was processed in the old system. See the guidance on amendments.
Visit the ethics management project webpage for more information on the new system, including links to video tutorials.
The guidance on this page covers ethics issues you may need to consider when completing your ethics application form if you are conducting research involving human participants, their data or samples.
For guidance on other aspects of good research conduct visit the good research conduct web page.
If you are unable to find guidance relating to your circumstances seek advice from your School ethics committee and consult external guidance specific to your discipline (such as a learned society).
If there is a topic that you feel should be included that is not currently featured, please email utrecmail@st-andrews.ac.uk
