[Air-L] Ethics and grad students

[Sue Malta]

M-H

I'm in Melbourne and I have the same requirements as you do.  
My supervisor is listed as the First Investigator.

Something that I'm not clear about - and an international perspective on
this issue...

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?
