A Message from ICEHR:
In preparation for the anticipated transition to a new ethics application system, ICEHR is closing its Application for Ethics Review (Sub-Project), effective immediately. Students (and supervisors) who used this application to obtain approval to fulfill the requirements for a student’s degree program have 2 options going forward.
1. Submit an ICEHR – Amendment Request event form. to add the student to an active project. This can be used when (a) a student is using data that has been or will be collected as part of an active project, or (b) a student will be modifying an active project and the new protocols will become part of the active project. In both scenarios the amendment request should outline what the student is doing for their degree program, provide the revised or new documents, and the student(s) TCPS2 core certificate. The students’ supervisor must be the PI or a project team member of the active project.
2. Submit an ICEHR Application for Ethics Review when the student plans to conduct their own standalone project that is separate from an active project.
We hope this will help streamline project approvals for students in advance of the anticipated transition to a new ethics application system. If you have any questions or are unsure about how to proceed, please email icehr@mun.ca.
