Information for External Researchers
External researchers (who are not registered students or members of staff in UCD) who wish to carry out research in UCD (including campus-wide surveys) that involves the recruitment of human participants including students are required to obtain ethics approval from their own institution. You must have this before approaching UCD for permission to seek access to recruit.
