Research Ethics Committee
The Research Ethics Committee of the Université de Lyon (CER-UdL, "Comité d'éthique de la recherche de l'Université de Lyon") aims to support researchers who wish to ensure the deontology of their research protocols.
Please note: once requested, the research cannot begin without the agreement of the Research Ethics Committee, and therefore before having followed the submission protocol. ► Find out more
Research ethics at the Université de Lyon
The mission of the CER-UdL is to provide independent opinions on projects for non-interventional research on humans (outside the scope of the ‘Jardé’ law); human subject research (RIPH, "recherches impliquant la personne humaine") being governed by the French Code of Public Health ("Code de la Santé publique") and under advisement from other forms of Ethics Committees (CPP, "comités de protection des personnes"). The ethical assessment of research projects outside the scope of the Jardé law, carried out by the CER-UdL, is consultative but strongly recommended when a researcher wishes to publish their project in a scientific journal or review.
Important: the CER-UdL is not competent to define whether your project depends on the evaluation of a CPP or a CER. For further information, please refer to the page "How to submit a research project".
The CER-UdL is part of a national framework, the French Federation of CERs, as well as an already rich ecosystem on the Lyon Saint-Étienne site: Lyon CUMG Ethics Committee, VetAgro Sup Ethics Committee, CELYNE (Lyon Ethics Committee in Experimental Neuroscience), Inserm Ethics Committee (CEI), CNRS Ethics Committee (COMETS).
