Tools to Design Ethical Research

Rijasolo

The ConSoSci developed materials to help you plan ethical research: 

 

  • The Research Ethics Checklist is intended to be used and adapted by conservation practitioners while planning conservation social science research. The checklist acts as a reminder to ensure that project teams and/or researchers have fulfilled or considered key ethical principles and procedures. The checklist is also available in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

 

  • The Template for Requesting Oral Consent to Conduct Human Subject’s Research is to be adapted as appropriate depending on the nature and context of the research. For any research involving human participants, it is important that Informed Consent is secured voluntarily and in advance of obtaining data and at other stages of the research, and that the participant is able to withdraw their consent at any point during the data collection. The consent template is also available in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

 

  • The Research Ethics Form Template was created to help those without access to Ethical/Institutional Review Boards, to think about the ethical implications of their conservation research, and to outline the measures they will take to protect research participants. The form template is also available in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

 

Before using the materials provided, check if your organization or institution has an Ethical Review Board. If it is the case, you should follow their instructions and procedures.

Ethical Review Boards may have different forms and different names, sometimes called Institutional Review Board, Ethical Review Committee...

If you have none of these, feel free to use the materials on this website for a self-assessment.

Make sure you know the ethical research requirements and/or local protocols for the country/area in which you are conducting your work. You might need to have more than one review (organization, country, etc.).

Check out these other things to consider when planning your research.

Overview

Social science data is essential for informed decision-making in conservation, yet collecting and managing this data can be complex, costly, and time-consuming and can seem particularly daunting for individuals lacking training in the social sciences.

Join the ConSoSci Partnership to learn how to streamline and scale social science data management across your field sites. This webinar will introduce two powerful data collection tools, KoBoToolbox and Survey123, to help you conduct your social science surveys, and share real-world case studies that demonstrate their practical applications while providing step-by-step guidelines to help you get started.

Why Attend?

  • Discover tools to enhance your data collection efforts.
  • Learn best practices for efficiently managing social science data.
  • Explore ConSoSci’s free, open-source tools and practical resources to help you get started.
