Research involving human participants (including teaching sessions, documentary practices, anonymous questionnaires and research carried out as part of coursework) must receive approval from The University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee (UAHPEC). Before you apply for approval online, however, you may want to seek advice from one of the faculty's ethics advisers:
Dr Marjorie van Roon
Phone: +64 9 3737599 ext 88594
Email: m.vanroon@auckland.ac.nz
Dr Lucille Holmes
Phone: +64 9 373 7599 ext 89328

UAHPEC approval process
- All applications from students (including doctoral, masters and honours) are to be submitted by the appropriate supervisor as the principal investigator.
- Incomplete, poorly constructed applications will be returned. The UAHPEC will not review the application until an adequate, revised application is submitted.
Before you complete your online application, please visit the UAHPEC web page on the main University site, where you will find Council-approved guidelines and an applicants' manual. When you are ready, you can also create and submit your online application on this page.
