Research in the PESS department, involving human subjects requires prior approval by the Education and Health Sciences Research Ethics Committee (EHSREC).
The EHSREC is charged by the University to consider the ethics of proposed PESS research projects which will involve human subjects and to agree or not, as is the case, as to whether the projected research is ethical. The EHSREC along with the other faculty ethics committees must be consulted about any research proposals which involve: direct experimentation on individuals, surveys or questionnaires to individuals, or use of data derived from individual records where individuals might be identified.
