At my university in Australia, where I am enrolled as a PhD candidate, the ethics application for my PhD project listed my main supervisor as the chief investigator, and then me as another investigator. I believe this is common here. If there is any comeback from a participant I am well protected, provided I continue to discuss what I am doing with my supervisor and not go outside the bounds of the original ethics approval without applying for an extension to that. I notice a couple of comments (see below for one) about the situation for grad students (I assume in the US as no detail is given) which seem to imply that this is not the case elsewhere. Can anyone clarify? M-H On 15/8/07 9:40 AM, "Lois Ann Scheidt" <lscheidt@indiana.edu> wrote:
