Introducing Research Ethics & the UREC Professor Chris Newman, UREC Chair

All research projects involving human participants, personal data or human tissue must obtain ethics approval before the research commences

Definition of ‘research’ All investigation undertaken to acquire knowledge and understanding* including: work of educational value designed to improve understanding of research process administrative research e.g. by Professional Services * definition taken from Research Assessment Exercise 2008

Definition of ‘research’ But NOT including: Routine audit and evaluation Routine testing and analysis of materials, components, processes etc

Ethics is part of doing the best possible research...with integrity Ethics is about how we conduct our research, from start to finish. Ethics is about how we treat those involved in, or affected by, our research.

Fundamental principles Participants rights: informed consent confidentiality security (data/samples) safety Researcher’s obligations: honestyminimising risks integritycultural sensitivity Ethics review procedure for all research involving human participants, personal data and/or human tissue

To promote awareness and understanding of research ethics throughout the University To advise on any research ethics matters that are referred to it from within the University, including on the interpretation of the Research Ethics Policy To monitor the ethics review procedure as administered by departments To keep abreast of the external research ethics environment and ensure that the University responds to all external requirements. UREC’s key tasks…
