Research ethics decision tool

The aim of this tool is to help colleagues to determine whether University research ethics approval will be needed for their study.

In the tool you will be presented with a series of 'Yes', 'No', or 'I'm not sure' questions. Take your time to consider the wording of each question very carefully.

Before engaging with this tool, you should consult the University's Research ethics policy.

If you are unsure if your study requires University research ethics approval, you should contact the research ethics team at ethics@liverpool.ac.uk

Start using the decision tool.
