The sections below will help you apply for funding opportunities, get a research agreement signed, apply for regulatory approval for your project, and learn more about research at UVic (awards and honours, policies and procedures).

How do I...?

Apply for regulatory approval (human ethics, animal care ethics, etc.)

• You'll need regulatory approval if your research involves human subjects, animals, or if you'll be using research materials that require biosafety, radiation safety or hazardous materials registration.
• You must have approvals in place before funds are released and your research begins.
• Find forms for each regulatory approval on the forms and guidelines page.

Questions? Please contact the human research ethics assistant or the animal care services clerk.
