All research at NMIT, whether undertaken by staff members, or by students as part of undergraduate, post-graduate courses, requires ethics approval.

From the inception of any research project to the dissemination of its results, considering ethical aspects is an active responsibility of researchers. This means that researchers must: 

  • endeavour to maintain the safety of all human participants in the project [Human Ethics(external link)]

  • ensure research is in accordance with NMIT’s Te Tiriti o Waitangi Policy and can contribute to the needs and aspirations of Tangata Whenua of Te Tauihu, leading to meaningful engagement and outcomes for Māori and researchers [Consultation with Māori] 

    endeavour to limit the impact on animals in research involving animals [Animal Ethics(external link)]

  • consider the impact of their research and any published outputs, ensuring there will be no adverse ethical impacts on communities and groups.
