This ethics pre-screening checklist will help determine whether or not ethics review and approval is needed for your research. Complete if you think your research project does not require ethics approval by a Research Ethics Committee (REC) because it does not prospectively involve humans or their data.

NOTE: Ethics review and approval is not granted retrospectively. Researchers/applicants should seek confirmation of whether or not they need to make a full application BEFORE any research activities start.

Animal Research and Biosafety:

This pre-screening questionnaire does not cover animal research or research with Biosafety concerns. If you plan any form of animal research or research with potentially hazardous biological agents, please consult with your and faculty animal or biosafety committee.
