Timeframes for committee review in 2023
All applications are triaged through the preliminary review process upon initial submission. Applications that meet the requirements for progression to committee review will receive a PDF request. Applications will be placed in a queue and allocated to an upcoming meeting in order of receipt of the requested materials.
Please note that we currently have applications in the queue for the first meetings of the year. We therefore encourage applicants to plan ahead and submit their applications early to avoid the need to adjust research plans.
Due to the rolling number of applications for Delegated Committee review we are no longer providing meeting deadlines for E2 applications. Protocols for review will be allocated to the earliest available meeting in 2023.
To avoid delays in the review process, please ensure that you address the questions in the questions tab carefully (ensuring risks are acknowledged and information is provided regarding how those risks will be mitigated). Please ensure any required documents are uploaded to the documents tab(following the guidance on the templates).
Full Review research
The Human Research Ethics Committee assesses high-risk applications, research with vulnerable populations, and research involving Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples. 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.
