Time Commitment
We recommend participants allocate 1-3 hours per week for GREIM.
Skills and Experience
No prior knowledge of ethics issues is assumed or required. The course is delivered through the Graduate Research Portal link which is hosted on a sakai platform, so basic web skills are required.
Online Modules
Each module includes a number of case studies which participants can work through in their own time, as well as opportunities for online discussion and interviews with guest experts. The format of these discussion fora will be explained on enrolment.
Facilitation
GREIM is facilitated by Dr Sylvia Schaffarczyk, Senior Programs Officer at the Melbourne School of Graduate Research. Each week, Sylvia will be joined by guest experts from across the University, including the Melbourne Research Office and Graduate Student Association along with researchers working in cutting edge fields.
Induction Workshop
This workshop will orient you to the course, introduce your facilitator and fellow participants, and allow opportunities for questions, networking and debate. Participation is strongly recommended.
Ethics Workshops: Human Ethics and Animal Ethics
Participants choose to participate in either the Human Ethics or Animal Ethics stream, or to select both. Attendance at the respecitve workshop is strongly recommended.
Please Note
GREIM is designed to introduce research candidates to issues in research ethics and integrity and is not an orientation into the mechanics of applying for ethics approval at the University. If you require assistance with your ethics application, please contact the relevant person in your department or the ethics advisors at the Melbourne Research Office.
