Timeframes for Committee Review
All applications are triaged through a preliminary review process upon initial submission. Once your application meets the requirements for committee review we will place it in the queue in order of receipt.
We encourage applicants to plan ahead and submit their applications early to avoid having to adjust research plans. Due to the rolling number of applications for Delegated Committee review we are no longer providing meeting deadlines and will allocate protocols to the earliest available meeting.
High Risk Application Review
The Human Research Ethics Committee assesses high risk applications. They meet on the last Friday of each month (except December). In order for your application to be processed, reviewed, and assessed at this meeting, you must submit and finalise your application before the deadline dates listed.
