Ethics Application Website

About this website

This website contains information about obtaining approval to conduct research with 3rd party participants. If you are a student or staff member of the University of York, Europe campus, and you are planning on performing research that involves any form of data collection by primary research, you are required before the start of the data collection to have obtained approval by the Ethics committee of your Department.

Any breach of this policy could invalidate your data, and may also come with disciplinary action against you.

How to use this website

If you want to apply for Ethics Approval, visit the section Guide for Applicants, where you will find information about how to apply. Please read that section carefully before proceeding to completing the application. It might also be useful for you to also visit the section Guide for Reviewers, in order to understand how your application will be reviewed and thus decrease the time to obtaining the approval. If you are a supervisor please also read the section Guide for Supervisors.

To actually apply, you need to complete the form located in the section Apply here. In order to apply, you will need to create a few documents (depending on your application). You can find templates to modify and submit with your application, in the Document templates section.

If you are a project supervisor or ethics reviewer, you should visit the section Guide for Reviewers. There you will find information about what to look for in an application.
