Pages about research ethics at the University of Alberta, and Canadian Tricouncil
University of Alberta
- ARISE: you'll use this site to obtain ethics approvals for your research projects (you may have to create an account first). Let's check out some of my proposals (in class).
- document templates for informed consent/assent (also addressing issues such as: anonymity (subject identity is unknown to researcher), confidentiality (subject identity is known but hidden in raw data via encryption or use of keys, and not shared in publication through pseudonyms or data aggregation), privacy (research is not conducted in certain contexts), including making of AV recording (restrictions as to time and context), use of recordings (who may view/hear them), etc.

Applies for your SSHRC grants...
Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (read selectively). (Tricouncil = SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR - the three funding bodies for social sciences and humanities, science and engineering, and health sciences, respectively). Read sections A and B.
Core principles:
- Respect for People
- Concern for Welfare
- Justice
Critique
Think about: why do organizations and governments codify ethics?
