The ethical checklist must be filled in and signed both by the candidate and the director of the Host laboratory. This requires time and you are encouraged to start the answering process well in advance before the deadline.
The ethical checklist is composed of a list of questions to which the candidate and the Host laboratory must answer. Wether the answer to a question is positive or negative, it must be justified.
If your scientific project involves ethical issues (see Ethical Checklist), please note that all proper authorizations by the local/national ethical committees or competent authorities shall be provided to UniverSud Paris together with the application form or at the latest by the publication of the list of selected candidates/proposals which will take place end of June 2012.Failure by the applicant to provide said authorizations within this delay will be deemed as not accepting the fellowship. Please note that this may imply for candidates and laboratories to file their applications for approval or authorisation before local/national ethical committees well in advance and possibly before answering to the RBUCE-UP call for applicants.
