PURCON 860 Online Ethics Review System

Tender description

Online Ethics Review System The University of East Anglia (UEA) is a research-intensive university which is fully committed to ensuring that all research undertaken by staff and students is carried out to the highest professional standards of research integrity. As stated in the University's Research Ethics Policy, ethics review is required for all research that involves human participants (or their tissue or data) and animals, or which has the potential to affect the environment or cultural objects. A robust research ethics process is an essential feature of a research-intensive university and indeed a requirement for all major funding and award making bodies. The University currently reviews almost 1,500 ethics applications each year. An online ethics review system to suit the needs of our staff and students has been identified as a priority for the University.
