Appendix - INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE PhD PREPROPOSAL FORM
General: The space available for the content is limited.

Please respect the guidelines and predefined layout (letter type, letter size, line spacing, margins).
Question 1: Please provide names of the project and of the professor(s) who will act as thesis supervisor.
The project leader bears the main responsibility for the project and fulfils the daily supervision.
Thesis supervisor is referred to as ‘promotor’ in Dutch.
Question 2: Formulate English title of the research project as concisely and specifically as possible.
Question 3a: Does this project involve working with volunteers and/or patients? Does it require a Medical Ethical review?
Question 3b: In some cases experimental animals may be used. The ‘Law on Experimental Animals’ regulates use of an-
imals in experiments. Animal Experiments Committee (DEC) is in charge of control of the execution of the Law within the
University. In case vertebrates are used in the proposed project DEC will provide you with a questionnaire.
Question 3c: Other ethical dilemmas

Ethical dilemmas, considerations and decisions should play an important role in the programming of research proposals.
Ethical dilemmas deal with potential harm to society, people, animals and ecosystems and with the potential use or
misuse of research results.
Relevant aspects are:

o What are the funding organisations of the PhD research and what is their interest in the research results.
o Research methods: animal experiments; involving people in your experiments.
o Research location: research carried out in countries where human rights are violated.
Relevant questions may be:

o For whom is the research question relevant;
o Who can profit most of the research outcomes;
o Who could be harmed most by the research outcomes;
o Which development is supported by this research;
o Does the research support sustainable development; etc.
In general there are no good or wrong answers to ethical dilemmas, but it is very important to present your own
considerations clearly and transparently.
Question 4: Please list the persons that are primarily involved in the execution of the research project including the
research group / department / institute / other organisation at which they are employed. Please add an estimation of the
input in hours per week per person. If it is a joint project of two (or more) research groups, note that clear appointments
have to be made about capacity division.
Question 5: Please list the organisations collaborating in the context of this project. Mention only the collaboration
partners whose involvement will result in concrete joint activities such as publications.
Question 6: Provide a summary of 500 words at maximum. The summary contains the problem definition, objectives and
the methodology.
