Ethics Review Committee Inner City faculties (ERCIC)
ERCIC encourages researchers to submit their study protocols involving human participants or personally identifiable data for ethical review before the start of research activities. Review by ERCIC at the moment takes place on a voluntary basis.
**Important Notice: A new application form is now available as of August 16th 2024. Please note that the old form will be accepted for the first meeting of the 2024-25 academic year, but not thereafter.
If you encounter any issues, please contact ercic@maastrichtuniversity.nl
To apply for ethical review, please fill out the application form and send it to the secretary. For help with filling out the application form, please consult these tips and tricks.
Please note that any substantial changes in your research design after ethical approval require a renewed review by ERCIC. To apply for an amendment to your original protocol, please send an email to the secretary describing the changes you have made in the email, and highlighting the changes in the updated application form plus annexes (if applicable).
