Ethics Committee Approval Form
Give applicants a clear way to submit a project for ethics review. Collect the proposal, ethical considerations, and supporting documents so the committee has a consistent record to assess.
A project proposal explains what the team hopes to learn, but leaves out how participants will be recruited or who can access their information. The committee needs those details before it can assess the application. Typeform’s ethics committee approval form brings the proposal and its ethical considerations together.
Applicants describe the project, identify who’s responsible, and explain what participation involves. They outline potential risks, consent arrangements, and how information will be handled, with supporting documents attached where required. Tailor the questions to your committee’s remit so applicants know what they need to address.
The committee gets a structured submission to review. Applicants get a clearer picture of what’s required and where further explanation may be needed. Keep the application separate from the committee’s decision, with space to record requests for changes, conditions, and the final outcome.
An ethics committee approval form collects information about a proposed project for review by an ethics committee. It typically covers the project’s purpose, methods, participants, potential risks, and arrangements for consent and data handling. The form supports the review process; submitting it does not mean approval has been granted.
A proposal can explain a project well without answering every question an ethics committee needs to consider. A dedicated form prompts applicants to address those questions directly. It also keeps supporting materials together and makes missing information easier to identify before review begins.
Match the fields to your committee’s requirements:
- Project title, summary, and proposed dates
- Lead applicant, project team, and contact details
- Purpose and methods
- Participant groups and recruitment plans, where applicable
- Potential risks and steps to address them
- Consent procedures and participant information
- Privacy, data access, storage, and retention arrangements
- Relevant funding, conflicts of interest, and supporting documents
Include a separate section for the committee’s decision, feedback, conditions, and review date if the form also serves as the approval record.
Follow the order in which the committee assesses a project, and use specific prompts rather than one large field for “ethical considerations.” Show participant-related questions only when relevant. Ask applicants to label supporting documents with titles, dates, and version numbers so reviewers can identify exactly what they’re assessing.
No. Submission starts the review process. Applicants should follow their organization’s requirements for receiving a formal decision and meeting any conditions before beginning activities that require approval. Use the confirmation message to explain the next steps, how requests for clarification will arrive, and where applicants can check progress.
