Ethics Review Committee Psychology and Neuroscience (ERCPN)

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. The online application form does not apply to single studies as part of an already approved Research Line or to amendments (use separate forms, see Forms and Documents below).

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.

  You'll find all the ERCPN forms and documents here

All ERCPN meetings take place on Mondays at the Universiteitssingel 40, room 5.772. The deadline for submitting a research proposal is Sunday in the week prior to the meeting (per meeting 20 protocols will be reviewed). Submitted protocols exceeding this total will be reviewed in the next meeting. See the table for all dates and deadlines.
