RESEARCH ETHICS

St Patrick's College wishes to ensure that its researchers adhere to the highest standards of research excellence. Given its commitment to the education of young people, including those most vulnerable, it sees the adherence to the highest ethical standards in research as an essential element of its role and mission.

The Office of the Dean of Research and Humanities will be happy to process any enquiries relating to research ethics.

Please note that applications for ethical review can be submitted to the REC at any time during term time, however the Research Ethics Committee will not normally process applications in July or August.
