This week’s discussion of ethics will be important to my research proposal because I intend to study humans. It was informative to find out what kinds of research proposals require a RER. I had not previously known that RER’s are usually only needed for studies where human subjects have the role of research participant or subject. Other possible roles for humans include collaborators or members of the research team. Human data may also be used for secondary analysis, which is aggregated and anonymous.
Since my study will involve human participants, it is likely that I will need to undergo a Research Ethics Review. I plan to examine the University of Toronto Office of Research Ethics Guidelines and Practices Manual further while putting together my research methodology for Assignment # 4.
