Who can use the CUREC/1A checklist?
CUREC has approved a new checklist for use by staff and student researchers primarily in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Called the CUREC/1A, this checklist is a much shorter form tailored specifically for non-medical research requiring ethical review under the University’s procedures. The new checklist will be piloted between March and 30 September 2010. During this pilot phase, researchers in the Social Sciences and Humanities may choose to complete either the original CUREC/1 checklist or the CUREC/1A. Procedures are unchanged, and therefore on completion of the checklist, researchers will need to follow the instructions on the checklist about the next steps, which might require the completion of a CUREC/2 full application form if a higher risk is identified by the checklist. Researchers in the Medical Sciences will continue to use the original CUREC/1 checklist. Comments on the new checklist are welcomed and should be sent to the CUREC secretary.
