The University of KwaZulu-Natal is committed to ensuring the compliance and the ethical integrity of all research done under its auspice. Through the Ethics Unit of its Research Office, UKZN manages the approval and monitoring process for the use of humans and animals in research at UKZN and its affiliated research institutes. All research involving humans and animals conducted by faculty, staff, students or external researchers attached to UKZN or its affiliated institutes, must be approved by one of the three UKZN Research Ethics Committees:
All students, staff and other persons who, although not affiliated to the University but are involved in research at/or in association with UKZN, must familiarize themselves with the University Ethics Policy.
In addition, to build the capacity of researchers and members of the Research Ethics Committees in research ethics, UKZN provides various options, one of which is the updated Research Ethics Online Program. The program will take you through the login and registration process. Once all modules for a course are completed you will be given an option to print a certificate and download the notes for the course. |
