Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: Researchers conducting human subject research where they are working with and collecting data and/or tissue from human participants (including research which involves the co-creation of outputs, materials, or sensitive data collection)

This is a live, on-campus event.  

This event will provide guidance on the process of obtaining informed consent from participants and will advise on how researchers can demonstrate their commitment to the dignity, respect and data protection rights of participants - both during the active research phase and after project completion.  

The session will also look at copyright ownership and participant right of review in co-created/generated materials – which is of relevance to studies that, for example, invite participants to keep diaries, submit photographs and create zines.
