Six Nations Council Research Ethics Committee Protocol
The Ethics protocol, otherwise known as the application for ethics approval, is comprised of
three sections:
Section 1 is a coversheet that records your contact details and the title of your project.
Section 2 is a checklist of mostly yes/no responses that identify key issues.
Section 3 is the proforma that provides the Ethics Committee with more detail about your
project and particularly your interaction with research participants and Indigenous
knowledge.
Please complete all three sections and submit 4 copies and the original to the Ethics
Committee Secretary at least ten (10) business days prior to a regular Ethics Committee
meeting.
