Ethics ProposalAn ethics proposal must be prepared in conjunction with the dissertation proposal. It is important tonote that even if the student’s research has been approved by another institution (such as TheUniversity of Western Australia, Princess Margaret Hospital, Department of Justice); Curtin ethicsapproval must also be obtained prior to the research commencing.An ethics proposal consists of your conceptual proposal plus Ethics Form A which is produced bythe Human Research Ethics Committee and available on the web at the following address:http://research.curtin.edu.au/forms/ethicsforms.cfm#HumanResearchEthicsIn Form A, you need to tick the little boxes and fill in the big boxes. Your proposal needs to detailpotential areas of ethical concern in your research, and indicate strategies for dealing with these.Please also attach your Participant Information Sheet, Consent Form, and any standard and nonstandardquestionnaires, including semi-structured interview protocols. Submit the entire documentto the dissertation coordinator who will have the forms signed off by the Head of School, and submitthem to the Ethics Committee.Ethics approval MUST BE obtained prior to commencing any research. Allow several weeksfor approval to be granted. If ethics approval is not granted, the student may need to makesome amendments before resubmitting the ethics proposal.Ethics Committee Approval of Projects Involving Human ParticipantsPROJECTS INVOLVING HUMAN PARTICIPANTSEach research project at the University, which involves the collection of data from human participants,requires ethical approval of the project before any data are collected. This ethics approval will giveyou the endorsement of the University to conduct the research and demonstrates to people outside theUniversity (including potential participants) that participants’ rights are treated seriously. Although thereare many ethical issues in research, the issues on which applications are currently assessed are,whether or not:1. Your participants were adequately informed about the project before agreeing to participate,2. Participants agreed to participate of their own free will,3. The data on individual participants and organisations will remain confidential, and4. The costs of any invasive procedures to be used are appropriate, given the gains expected fromthe research and competence of the researcher.Currently, all projects above postgraduate diploma level have to be assessed by the University HumanResearch Ethics Committee. MPsych students need approval before commencement of data collection.The guidelines for submission and relevant forms can be found at the following website:http://research.curtin.edu.au/guides/human.cfm#guidelineshttp://research.curtin.edu.au/forms/ethicsforms.cfmPage 20 of 88Curtin University is a trademark of Curtin University of Technology.CRICOS Provider Code 00301J (WA), 02637B (NSW)
