The new Research Ethics Management System (REMS) is now live. The September and October AEC meetings will be conducted in ARIES and the meetings from November onwards will be conducted in REMS. For more information please visit the REMS SharePoint site.
All project and amendment applications must be submitted to the Research Ethics Office’s Animal Ethics Team (animal.ethics@anu.edu.au) by the submission deadlines, as listed in the table below.
We strongly recommend that you prepare your application early to allow sufficient time for review and feedback prior to submission. If you have a project that is due for renewal, we recommend submitting your renewal application at least two AEC meetings prior to your end date. Please note that submission deadlines are four weeks before a meeting and pre-reviews of drafts need to be scheduled at least two weeks before then.
After receiving your ethics application, the Animal Ethics Team and/or the AEC may request further comment or clarification from you before the meeting date.
You can also request an ANU Vet Services Team review of your draft in REMS.

*ANU Vet Feedback: If you have a technical question regarding your application you can contact the ANU Vet Services Team at vetservices.ris@anu.edu.au. If you would like an ANU Vet to give feedback on your draft application prior to submission, please ensure you provide your initial draft application two weeks before the submission deadline. This can be requested in REMS via the green ‘Submit’ button when your draft is ready
**End of year/start of next year submissions: This is the last meeting for the year. If you need an approval before the end of January next year, please ensure that you submit by this last submission date.
