Hi All,
As you may know, the University is making some changes to our ethics
procedures, and some studies will now need to have a Data Protect Impact
Assessment (DPIA). This is needed for data relating to health, so we're
working on a DPIA for our standard YNiC procedures (eg. the YNiC general
consent form and YNiC safety forms), so hopefully a study-specific DPIA
will only be needed for anything that deviates from that.
We also have initial-screening questions we ask before giving a potential
participant a general consent form or safety form, and also study-specific
questions to determine whether someone is suitable for our study (eg.
"neurologically normal", not taking certain medication etc). It's not yet
clear how much of this can be included in any centre-wide DPIA.
For the first draft of the centre-wide DPIA, it would be really useful to
know about any health-related questions you ask your participants (whether
during the recruitment process, or as part of the study).
Please could you email those to me?
There's a very tight deadline for making these changes - so if you could
send them to me asap, I'd be really grateful.
Many thanks.
Best wishes,
Fiona

Dear All,
Daniel K, Andre and I (mostly Daniel K!) have updated three of the YNIC
ethics documents:
the guidance, the project proposal form (needed for first-time users of
YNIC facilities and external applicants) and the ethics application form.
Joe has put them on the website:
https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/research/york-neuroimaging-centre/facilit…
and they are attached here too.
If you've started an old version and would prefer to continue with it, no
problem! If there are any problems, please let me know.
Best wishes,
Fiona
