There are 3 categories of review for full research proposals/full thesis proposals, namely, Exemption Review, Expedited Review and Full Board Review, details of which follow.

1. The First Category : Exemption Review
   According to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), research projects that are eligible for exemption review are those whosecollected information is about/from/in human subjectsbut is informationthat is in no way connected with the research sampling population/participants as individuals (except for some cases that do not affect the risks or individual rights). Research projects with the following characteristics may apply for the exemption review.
   
   • A research project in education that deals with regular classroom teaching and learning processes and is research conducted in an educational institution whose standards have been certified.
   • A strategic research project that is educationally innovative according to the national policy or the institutional policy in educational development; for example, research for assessing the efficiency of pupils/students in order to modify or change teaching and learning methods or research to assess the curriculum and to create or improve the curricula for educational quality assurance.
   • A research project searching for a method of educational assessment in terms of thinking processes that createa person’s cognitive ability or that is diagnostic and deals with aptitude and achievement, without recording the information in a way such that the identity of the research participants is revealed.
   • A research project that uses information from online sources, public information databases or from secondary documentary research works that do not directly or indirectly reveal anyone’s identity in order to analyze, interpret, compile or synthesize findings from other research works which involve a person/a group of people in order to reach a conclusion, a perspective or an end, which is considered to be a new idea or a new body of language.
   • A research work that is asurvey of facts or opinions of the population of a community or a society from an extensive circle, without bias or presupposition, conducted via telephone interviews and/or requesting the research participants to answer questionnaires which do not indicate, directly or indirectly, the names of the people who are answering the questionnaires.
   • A research work conducted by observing or recording the behaviourof the population in a community or a society, without voice recordings orphotos, clips, videos or film, in order to analyze or synthesize it by means of theory or to use it as basic information for making decisions or setting up policies or plansforthe government or the private sector.
   • A research work that deals with languages, folklore, art and culture as well as society in general, which collects information from documents, together with conversations as well as interviews with local sages or learned people who are knowledgeable in local history and take pride in their invaluable local wisdom and, also, artists. The research may be accompanied by sound/voice recordings as well as photos and videos in order to search for a new body of knowledge, for sustainable conservation and development or for the production of creative works and for conservational/creative tourism. (In cases where the researchsampling population/participants are minority groupsfrom different racial and/or religious backgrounds, they should not be considered to belong to avulnerable/deprived group).
   • A creative or design research work which is part of the research procedure and deals with collecting information about taste, attitude and people’s satisfaction with objects, items, goods, constructions or residences, public services, the ambience ofevents or exhibitions, nature and the environment. The research is conducted by interviewing people and/or requesting that they answer questionnaires without their names appearing. The research results will be presented as a holistic research report.
   • A research to build or develop an application for language translation or language teaching and learning or for language self-learning, using human voices to accompany the lessons and directed at specific professions, for example, souvenir vendors, traditional Thai masseuses, taxi and tuk-tuk(tricycle)drivers, hotel employees, tourist and immigration police.
   • Foritems 5-9, in cases where the research is conducted ona vulnerable/deprived group, it will not be considered as eligible for the exemption review.
2. The Second Category : Expedited Review
   • Research projects that are eligible for expedited review are those whose research process or research procedures are of a low level risk—meaning that the risk does not exceed the kind of risk that may affect people’s daily livesin general and for which the researcher has appropriate measures and methods to prevent such low level risk. The research must not be conducted on a vulnerable/deprived group (See the details on page 6) and research projects should comply with the characteristics of one of the following items.
   • A research project which collects the information fromresearchsampling population/participants, who are normally children under 18 years of age andcomplies with items 5 -9 in the exemption review.
   • A research project that is conducted through in-depth interviews and/or group conversations and/or answering the questionnaires, which may risk violating privacy or reveal confidential information about the research sampling population/participantsin spite of the researcher’s prepared appropriate measures and preventative methods.
   • A document research project which combines the technique of using oral history about well-known characters of the past and present and could have an impact on thepolitics, the administration, the economy or the peace and stability of the country.
   • A research project which uses secondary information from the personal records of a person or a group of people who have already been made known to the public and/or primary information that has never been publicized. The information may be in the form of handwritten or typed documents or illustrations whose information and contentare criticisms or opinions expressed towards one particular person.
   • A research project whose sampling population/participants may be affected or damaged, for example, by being subjected tothe anger and hatred of people in society or being fined or sued or losing the opportunity to pursue their occupation.
   • All types of research projects in art and performing arts whose displayed subject matter is about people whorisk moral principles and ethics or is capable of stirring up social currents that are unwanted by most people in society.

   • A research project in language or linguistics on the speech of people of different sexes with the information being collected by voice recordings, conversations and/or interviews and questionnaires, taking photos, clips and videos. With the consent of the research participants, when the research project is completed, the researcher may keep the recorded information for the benefit of the academic circle and/or society in the future.
   • A research project on sounds in language which requires phonetic instruments, tests and experiments in the perception of language sounds, the perception and learning of the mother tongue, the perception and learning of a second or foreign language where the researcher has direct contact with the research participants.
   • A research project on creating language maps and maps of ethnic groups in Thailand and neighbouringcountries using primary information obtained from questionnaires and/or through interrogating the authorities or knowledgeable people in the locale.
3. The Third Category : Full Board Review
   A research work involving human subjects might present risks at a high level—that is risks that are higher than those that happen in people’s daily lives. Also, this applies to a research project involving human subjects who belong to a vulnerable/deprived group, which requires special care and, especially,experimental or semi-experimental research and research conducted through workshopsor complicated research; all have to go through the full board review.

9. Research tools

When the researcher has prepared all the documents Please send them to the CU-REC system (click) with the signatures of the researcher, and advisor (+ The Dean’s signature in the case of master’s and doctoral students). Except for the sample group and the witnesses who do not have to sign (If signed, the system will withdraw immediately. because it is thought that the data has been collected). When the documents have been submitted to the system successfully The system will notify you to send hard copy documents via email again.

Steps in Applying for an Ethics Review of Research Involving Human Subjects
The officers at the Office of the Research Ethics Review Committee will accept a full proposal together with other related documents in the first submission. The documents that the researcher is required to submit consist of the following.

1. A letter stating the researcher’s intention to submit the research project for an ethics review of the research involving human subjects (AF 01-07/AF 02-07),
2. A form requesting an ethics review of research involving human subjects (AF 03-07),
3. Documents providing information for the research sampling population/ participants (AF 04 -07); a research at graduate level must be signed by the advisor. In cases where the research participants are 8 -17 years of age, they must be provided with documents and information written in simple language that is easy to understand and appropriate for their age.
4. A consent letter from the research sampling population/participants (AF 05 -07); research at the graduate level has to be signed by the advisor.
   Note: In cases where the research participants are 8 -17 years of age a consent form must be co-signed by their parent(s) or their guardian(s).
   The researcher may request for exemption from a consent form in cases where the risk of the research is at a low level, for example, a research project that uses questionnaires that do not state the names of responders, a research that collects information from telephone interviews, a research about human subjects that uses secondary information for analysis or where signing the consent form may cause damage because it is a way of revealing confidential information about the participants, for example, collecting information from drug addicts, from HIV infected patients, from those who have sexually transmitted diseases and from service women.
   However, the researcher must provide all information necessary for the research participant’s decision even though they are exempt from signing their names in the consent letter.
5. A research execution plan that covers the whole period and a schedule indicating every stage of the research activity,
6. The CVs of the researcher/team of researchers to show their experience and their readiness to conduct the research,
7. A full research proposal/full thesis proposal that is printed on both sides of the page and each page being provided with a page number,
8. Other documents related to the research project, namely, detailed programmesof activities, questionnaires, posters for advertising, leaflets and brochures.
