The online Ethical Review system is a review and management process for all research applications, including student projects on postgraduate research courses. The system features:

  • Embedded advice and guidance for applicants
  • An integrated risk-assessment tool to identify projects that can be self-certified as low risk
  • The introduction of a generic review process for low-risk projects on postgraduate research courses
  • An embedded records management system
  • Improved data security

For more information or help and advice on the online Ethical Review system or queries about the Research Ethics Group, please contact Andrea Howell, Officer to Research Ethics Group, by emailing andrea.howell@sunderland.ac.uk.
