BEER Lab Governance Rules
The starting point for all research supported by the lab. It defines scope, principles, responsibilities, approvals, use of shared resources, and compliance.
Quick path
Find the rule for each stage
The sequence follows the project lifecycle. Start with registration, then consult the procedure for your experimental setting.
Register
Submit the project, document ethics and funding, and obtain operational approval.
SOP-01 · Registration and approvalPrepare the pool
Set eligibility, exposure history, and invitations before recruiting.
SOP-02 and SOP-03Run
Choose the procedure for laboratory, online, lab-in-the-field, or field research.
SOP-04 through SOP-08Protect and report
Separate identifiers, control access, and document any incident.
SOP-09 and SOP-10Close
Reconcile payments, files, incidents, and resources before project closeout.
SOP-11 · Closeout
Shared principles
One standard across research settings
Operational requirements scale with risk and context, but these commitments apply to all research supported by the lab.
Participant protection
Dignity, autonomy, privacy, safety, and the right to withdraw take priority over data-collection targets.
No deception
BEER Lab does not permit materially false statements; incomplete disclosure must be justified and ethically approved.
Shared stewardship
The participant pool, infrastructure, reputation, and institutional relationships are common assets that must be preserved.
