Appendix B: Note from the Psy-REC coordinator along with guidelines and application form. Hello, As you likely all know, it is the policy of the University that all course based research projects that involve the collection of data, such as those often conducted in the 300 A lab courses, and potentially in some 200-level courses, receive ethics approval. The departmental ethics committee (Psy-REC) has the authority to approve minimal risk projects, including those involving vulnerable populations (e.g., children) as long as there are no other risk factors associated with the research protocol. The attached files consist of the application form for course-based research program as well as the guidelines for review of course-based research. Information regarding other policies, timelines, sample forms and general information regarding ethics can be found on the department web site http://artsandscience.usask.ca/psychology/department/ethics.php Projects that are exempt from ethics review are listed below (see Appendix I of guidelines for full details of projects that are and are not eligible for departmental review) Projects where students are conducting the research on themselves during class time; Projects involving the use of records or information that is in the public domain, including the use of anonymous secondary data and surveys or questionnaires that have already been published; Projects involving the use of naturalistic observation where the participants are seeking public visibility and participant confidentiality and anonymity are ensured; Practicum or job training projects where students are fully integrated into the organization’s operational practices and are not conducting research; Projects where the intent is to use the information to provide advice, diagnosis, identification of appropriate interventions or general advice for a client; Projects where the intent is to develop skills which are standard practice within a profession (e.g. observation, assessment, intervention, evaluation, auditing) New Applications The information required for the application is straightforward. For the 300 level A classes, we recognize that development of the actual instruments, consent forms etc., may be part of the course instruction and completion of the ethics application in its entirety may be delayed until this information has been covered in the course. In such a case we ask that you complete the application with as much information as possible, and forward the exact instruments and forms for approval when they are developed. Prior Psy-REC Approval for Course Research Projects Some of you may have obtained ethics approval for your 300 A lab course in a previous year and have made no substantial changes to your course projects and ethics protocols. If so then you do not have to submit another application as the approval is valid for a three year term. You are required, however, to submit a status report form (see attached) in order to extend your approval for another year. The approval certificate will be automatically 20
invalidated if a status report form is not received. A new “Application for Review of Course-Based Research Program” must be submitted every three years. Note that if your course based project has significantly changed from last year in terms of proposed methods or your consent and recruitment procedures, then these should be reported to the committee in advance of its implementation. Submission and Review Process Please submit three copies of the application form (with signatures) to the main office. If your students will be developing required data gathering instruments in the class, please include a memo outlining that certain materials will be forwarded for approval as soon as they are developed. We will attempt to review and approve the applications as quickly as possible. Applications received by any Wednesday at noon will be reviewed and feedback provided by the following Monday at noon. Note that ethics approval is required before any data is collected. If you have any questions feel free to contact either myself or the other two Psy-REC members - Michel Desjardins, Jordan Cummings Cheers.
