Advanced preparation will assist you in writing and submitting a complete ethics application that is easily understood by reviewers outside of your field of research (i.e. plain language). At ECU, it is the Supervisor who will be the lead Chief Investigator on your Ethics application, so they should guide you through this process. Also remember that you can save your application at any time throughout its preparation; you don’t have to complete it in one sitting.
There are templates and forms available to assist you in developing some of the resources listed below that may be needed for you application. The list of forms that you may need is provided below. To review the questions that are asked in REMS, and to see the advice about what reviewers are looking for in each question, see 'Guidelines for Researchers'.
