Submit an Ethics Application
Preparing your Proposal
Please ensure that your research study falls into the “standard protocol category”: i.e. that it involves only healthy adult volunteers to be tested at the CCNi. Read the Ethics Template for the appropriate modality, ensuring your research fits with procedures. Please download the approved ethics template(s) for specific modality:
- EEG Studies Ethics Template [FIMS 00418 14/03/08] (eeg ethics template)
- 3T fMRI Studies Ethics Template [FIMS 00416 09/04/08] (3T fMRI Studies Ethics Template)
- 7T fMRI Studies Ethics Template (7T fMRI Studies Ethics Template)
- MEG Studies Ethics Template [FIMS 00417 09/04/08] (MEG Studies Ethics Template)
- TMS Studies Ethics Template [FIMS 00419 09/04/08] (TMS Studies Ethics Template)
- For guidance: An example of a TMS Project's Approved Ethics (TMS Project Approved Ethics - example)

Multi-Modal Studies
For studies that use MRI to inform/guide EEG, MEG or TMS experiments, two separate proposals should be submitted (with two separate information and consent forms) as the studies are carried out on separate dates and have different requirements.
Submit to Ethics Committee
When everything is ready, you can upload those documents as part of your online application to the College Ethics Committee.
