A project needing full board review will often require the researcher to come speak to the board about the proposed study. This meeting is an opportunity for the researcher to discuss their study, and for the board to ask questions and provide feedback or voice any concerns they have with the project.

Following the completion of your application (with revisions, if necessary) you will receive an email with a link to inform you if you have confirmation of ethics approval. The confirmation appears under the “Current State” section of the page. Once this status is achieved, you have officially completed the ethics approval process and can proceed to conducting your SoTL research project!
