    • Declaration 

    • By submitting this application, I declare that the information provided is accurate to the best of my knowledge. If ethical approval is granted, I undertake to comply with the following reaquirements throughout the research:

      • I will conduct the research in accordance with the approved research plan and any conditions of approval,applicable laws and regulations, EAU policies, relevant professional standards, and the terms of any agreements governing the research.

      • I will obtain and maintain any required participant consent and permissions from organisations, data owners,regulators, external ethics or research governance bodies, and other relevant parties before starting the activity to which they relate. EAU ethical approval does not grant these permissions.

      • I will collect, access, use, analyse, store, retain, transfer, share and dispose of research data in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection requirements, confidentiality and information security requirements, and EAU research policies. I will apply safeguards appropriate to the nature, sensitivity and risk of the data.

      • I will ensure that I have the necessary rights and permissions to use data, records, instruments, software, images and other materials supplied by others. Ethical approval does not determine ownership or override intellectual property rights, licences, confidentiality requirements or the terms of research agreements.

      • Before publishing, presenting, depositing in a repository or otherwise sharing findings, data or materials, I will confirm that the necessary rights and permissions are in place and will comply with participant consent, confidentiality requirements, data-owner requirements and any other applicable restrictions.

      • I will promptly notify EAU of material changes to the approved research, new or increased risks, adverse events, data or security incidents, unauthorised disclosures, or loss of required permissions. I will obtain further approval before implementing a material change where required, except where immediate action is necessary to protect participants or other individuals from harm, or to comply with a legal obligation. Any such action will be reported promptly to EAU, and any further approval required will be obtained.

      • I understand that EAU ethical approval applies to the project as reviewed. It does not constitute legal advice or separate regulatory, organisational, data-owner, intellectual property or publication authorisation. I remain responsible for the conduct of my research and compliance with all applicable requirements. EAU retains its responsibilities for ethical review and research governance.
