Research Ethics
All research conducted by academic staff, contract researchers, postgraduate researchers and undergraduate students at the University of Sheffield is conducted in accordance with the University's policies on research ethics.
Ethics applications should be filled out only after the Ethics Procedure and Guidelines have been consulted. Please note: the University's Ethics Policy was reviewed in the Summer of 2010 and new guidelines and forms are now in place.
Specific guidelines for Music-related research, along with links to relevant generic information, can be found at the link to your right: Ethics Review Guidelines for the Department of Music. Researchers should also consult the University Research Ethics page (see link) and the University Ethics Procedure and Guidelines (see link)
Departmental guidelines are contained in the document Ethics Review Guidelines: departmental procedures.
Application forms for the ethics review process are available via the right hand "Further details" box on this page.
