Any research project involving the collection of data or biological samples from human participants, requires ethics review by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). Research degree students should consult with their supervisor and consider any ethics implications associated with their research at an early stage, to ensure they apply to HREC in good time.
It is essential that allProfessional Doctorate students apply to HREC.
The ethics project application will need to be completed in the Research Ethics Application System.
Please note the ethics project application must include your supervisor’s electronic signature and supporting comments. Applications cannot be submitted without this.
