Teach and Certify

Completing Individual Units

If appropriate for your community research partners, you can select specific components of Research Ethics for All, rather than completing the entire training.

Select the units that will support your team to contribute to your research project.

You can decide what parts of the units to do.

You may also want to select some add-on activities to support community research partners to apply information to your project.

The Rights and Responsibilities Agreement can also help community research partners apply information to their specific project.
