Ethics Review Committee Psychology and Neuroscience (ERCPN)

Ethical review of scientific research involving human participants or personally identifiable data is carried out by the Ethics Review Committee Psychology and Neuroscience (ERCPN). If studies fall under the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO), review by the accredited review committee METC is mandatory.



The ERCPN requires researchers to submit their study protocols involving human participants or personally identifiable data for ethical review before the start of research activities. Ethical approval can be sought by filling out the online application form.

An application to ERCPN can only be submitted with the mandatory templates by academic staff and PhD students in the capacity of principal investigator at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University.
