Your remaining task is to fill in an Ethics/Project Proposal Form with the help of your project supervisor and submit it for approval. This procedure will unfold predominantly in the first three weeks of the autumn term of Year 3, though some preliminary planning may be carried out later in the summer term of Year 2, depending on the the project. An electronic version of your ETHICS/PROJECT PROPOSAL form is available via the Projects - Obtaining Ethical Approval page. Please follow the instructions and try to keep the form to two sides. It must be handed in ON TIME (see the appropriate Timetable, via the Year 3 - Key Information page). You must not start testing participants until you have received appropriate ethical approval, and any project undertaken without ethical approval may receive a mark of zero. You should also ensure your project supervisor has signed the project proposal form before it is submitted electronically to natalieemily.birchall@yorkgreener@york.ac.uk.

Before reaching a final decision about your project design, discuss with your supervisor the facilities and equipment you will require. ALL use of departmental resources, whether psychometric, secretarial administrative or technical, must be approved by your supervisor; please do not ask secretaries the administrators or technicians for help without your supervisor's prior approval. The department is prepared to fund photocopying associated with your project on the Departmental Office copier. Administrators will provide access for approved use of the photocopier, though at least one week's notice may be required for large numbers of copies. Several weeks' notice will be necessary if you require access to special equipment.
