RESEARCH ETHICS APPLICATION FORM (STAGE 1)
More information on ethics procedures can be found on your faculty website. You must read the Question
Specific Advice for Stage 1 Research Ethics Approval form.
All research carried out by students and staff at Anglia Ruskin University and all students at our Franchise
Associate Colleges, must comply with Anglia Ruskin University’s Research Ethics Policy (students at other
types of Associate College need to check requirements).
There is no distinction between undergraduate, taught masters, research degree students and staff
research.
All research projects, including pilot studies, must receive research ethical approval prior to approaching
participants and/or commencing data collection. Completion of this Research Ethics Application Form
(Stage 1) is mandatory for all research applications*. It should be completed by the Principal Investigator in
consultation with any co-researchers on the project, or the student in consultation with his/her research
project supervisor.
*For research only involving animals please complete the Animal Ethics Review Checklist instead of this
form.
All researchers should:
 Ensure they comply with any laws and associated Codes of Practice that may be applicable to their
area of research.
 Ensure their study meets with relevant Professional Codes of Conduct.
 Complete the relevant compulsory research ethics training.
 Refer to the Question Specific Advice for the Stage 1 Research Ethics Approval.
 Consult the Code of Practice for Applying for Ethical Approval at Anglia Ruskin University.
If you are still uncertain about the answer to any question please speak to your Dissertation
Supervisor/Supervisor, Faculty Research Ethics Panel (FREP) Chair or the Departmental Research Ethics
Panel (DREP) Chair.
