Ethical Committee Psychology

 

RESEARCH APPROVAL BY THE ETHICAL COMMITTEE OF THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT (ECP)

A request for approval of research involving human beings can be made by sending the ECP-SONA Application Form as an attachment to an email to the  Ethical Committee of Psychology (ECP): ecp@rug.nl.

With this form you can also apply - if intended - for using the online research registration system 'SONA' (to download the form click here: ECP-SONA Application Form English version  [DOC]or the ECP-SONA Application Form Dutch version [DOC]).

As soon as your research is approved by the ECP, you will receive an email message from Mrs. Greetje Limbeek (administrator) about the approval. Count on a maximum of 10 working days for a response to your request for approval.

Please note that the ECP also has to approve research that is conducted as part of the course PSBA2-09, as well as research for the Bachelor or Master thesis, and research that won’t require the use of SONA. You can use the application form mentioned above.

The ECP checks research conducted by the Psychology Department of the University of Groningen on ethical norms.
