These ethics workshops are run by the NIHR Research Support service and Inspiring Ethics. In these group sessions we help researchers navigate the nitty-gritty of ethical procedures and processes around participatory research.

This session tackles university rules around “incentives” and payments, fair compensation, undocumented participants and people on benefits, and why universities routinely block ethical payment. Suggested Researcher: Someone from Survivor Voices would be good/ And/or someone from a university ethics committee who could provide constructive advice on how to communicate to a committee.

Inspiring Ethics is a collective of researchers, practitioners, and people with lived experience working together to rethink research ethics. We create spaces to explore real-world ethical dilemmas, challenge conventional frameworks, and develop participatory, community-led approaches to ethical practice.
