RESEARCH PLAN:

Before the end of the first year the doctoral student will make a research plan supported by the supervisor and the director. This plan has to include the methodology and goals, the mediums and the time planning as well as a positive report by the Ethics Committee in Experimental Research of the Universitat de València if applicable.

This plan can be improved throughout their stay in the doctoral programme and must be supported by the supervisor and the director.

The Ethics Committee will asses research plans which include experimentation with humans or biological human samples, experimentation with animals, the use of biological pathogenic agents or genetically-modified organisms. (CEIC - CEBA or UVEG report).
