B1. Select from the list below to describe your research: (Tick/highlight as appropriate)

B2. Are the participants expected to be from any of the following groups? (Tick/highlight as appropriate)

Does your research require you to have a DBS check? Yes/no (delete as appropriate)

Yes/no (delete as appropriate)

If yes how these will be addressed:

B.4 Will your research require participants to complete surveys or answer questions (e.g. interviews?) participants be asked to do in the study?

If yes, then please provide a draft list of questions

PART C: RECRUITMENT & CONSENT PROCESSES

Describe how potential participants in the study will be identified and recruited and who will do this. How participants are approached and recruited is an important consideration to ensure that they are not induced or coerced into participation. The way participants are identified may have a bearing on whether the results can be generalised. Please explain each point and give sub-groups of participants separately if appropriate. also say who will identify, approach and recruit participants. Remember too to append all advertising material (posters, emails etc) as part of your application.

C.1 Describe how potential participants in the study be identified, approached and recruited and who will do this:

(i) identified:

(ii) approached: (i.e. how will you tell prospective participants about the research and invite them to participate? Also, will you speak to them face to face or use email or telephone?) It may be appropriate to approach participants and ask them to sign up on the spot for low risk research; however, giving participants a length of time (at least a week) to consider is usually necessary for riskier projects. *

(iii) recruited: (i.e. how will participants sign up to be participants in the research? e.g. through returning a signed consent for to the researcher) *

C2. Will the research involve any element of deception?

Yes/no (delete as appropriate)

If yes, please describe why this is necessary and whether participants will be informed at the end of the study.

C3. Will informed consent be obtained from the research participants?

Yes/no (delete as appropriate)

If yes, please describe in detail how this will be done, also provide a copy of the consent form template to be used in your research

Copies of any written consent form, written information and all other explanatory material should accompany this application . The information sheet should make explicit that participants can withdraw from the research at any time, if the research design permits.

C4. Describe whether participants will be able to withdraw from the study, and up to what point (e.g. if data is to be anonymised). If withdrawal is not possible, explain why not.

Any limits to withdrawal, e.g. once the results have been written up or published, should be made clear to participants in advance, preferably by specifying a date after which withdrawal would not be possible. Make sure that the information provided to participants (e.g. information sheets, consent forms) is consistent

C5. Will individual or group interviews/ questionnaires discuss any topics or issues that might be sensitive, embarrassing or upsetting, or is it possible that criminal or other disclosures requiring action could take place during the study (e.g. during interviews or group discussions)? The information sheet should explain under what circumstances action may be taken.

Yes/no (delete as appropriate)

If yes, give details of procedures in place to deal with these issues.

PART D: RESEARCH DATA (Researchers must comply with the General Data Protection Regulations)

D.1 Where will your data be stored? (please tick/highlight more than one if applicable)

University approved cloud computing services (e.g. UoH Box)

University networks (e.g. shared drives)

External cloud services (personal Box, Google drive etc.)

Portable drive (Not recommended)

Manual files (e.g. paper copies)

Private company computers

Personal computers

Other

D2. How will you ensure personal data on consent forms (e.g. names, addresses) will be stored securely and disposed of when the study is complete?

Nobody other than the researcher should have access to these. If consent forms cannot be digitalised and encrypted, they must be secured in a locked cabinet or room to which only the researcher has access. Ensure you do not put any words, letters, images or numbers on the consent forms which could potentially link the person to the data you have collected.

D3. Where will the data generated by the research be analysed and by whom?

D4. Who will have access and act as long-term custodian for the research data generated by the study?

D5. DATA SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES - Will the research involve any of the following activities at any stage (including identification of potential research participants)? (Tick/highlight all that apply)

D6. How long will research data from the study be stored?

D7. When will the personal data collected during the study be destroyed and how?

Researchers must comply with the General Data Protection Regulations that are live from May 2018.
