This website has two ways to encourage interaction between researchers and potential participants from a normal adult population:
- Using the discussion forum
- By putting you details in the Volunteer Panel
The Discussion Board
The discussion board allows researchers to advertise their projects. Researchers must be registered members. This is an essential step to certify their identity and credentials. Researchers submit a specific request to the Psychology Research Admin Committee (via online form TBA) with supporting documentation for their project and relevant ethical approval. This is essential to guarantee an undiscriminated use of this resource and ensure the legitimacy of the projects posted on this website.
Participants will be able to search the board and volunteer for the various research projects.
Please note: if payment is available for participation, the arrangements will be dealt with directly by the researchers and this website is not responsible for any agreement or interaction between the researchers and participants after the initial contact.
To provide a certain level of feedback about research projects, however, participants will be able to post comments and ratings which other volunteers can use to inform their choices.
The Volunteer Panel
In the near future we are planning to prepare a database of volunteers who might be interested to participate in research. The Volunteer Panel will be available to researchers who want to target a specific group (i.e. language, gender or a particular age group), and after the registration of their projects they will be able to send an email directly to registered volunteers.
Volunteers registered in this database will receive a periodical newsletter with recent research projects advertised.
