Why we charge

Fees fund the mahi

Review fees support our review work and let us run seminars and workshops — fostering awareness of ethical principles, supporting researchers to protect participants’ rights and wellbeing, and providing educational support in ethics procedure.

Donations

Help us support community researchers

As a non-profit we rely on review fees and donations. Donations fund koha reviews for community researchers, community outreach, and professional development for committee members.
