Faculty Honours Ethics Committee 2009
The Faculty administers an Honours Ethics Committee that processes all Disciplinary Honours-level ethics applications on behalf of the University Ethics Office. In 2009, the Chair of this Committee is Associate Professor Geoff Frost and the secretariat is Ms Rebecca Connell.
The procedure for Honours thesis ethic proposals to be considered by the Faculty Honours Ethics Committee is as follows:
- Students are expected to fill out the standard ethics clearance form.
You must ensure you use the correct form for Humanities and Sciences Research Involving Humans. - Student projects that involve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and/or involve meeting individuals in their places of residence for interviews etc. are not covered by this scheme. These proposals must still go to the University Ethics Committee.
- The Faculty Committee may still forward some difficult ethics submissions to the University Ethics Committee for consideration. It is for this reason that the Faculty's submission dates come before the main University dates.
- An original application, including attachments (unstapled) plus ten (10) copies, including attachments (stapled) are submitted to the Faculty Research Manger, Rebecca Connell (Room N415, Institute Building, HO3) by 4pm on the dates of submission. No late submissions will be accepted.
- The submissions must be typewritten or word-processed. Handwritten applications will not be accepted.
- Before submitted, applications are required to be authorised by the relevant Chair of Discipline. If the Chair is the supervisor, the application must be signed off by the Pro-Dean.
The closing dates for submission for 2009 are:
- 16 March (Committee meets on 25 March)
- 20 April (Committee meets on 29 April)
- 25 May (Committee meets on 3 June)
- 22 June (Committee meets on 1 July)
