Meeting and submission deadlines
The ethics review of ‘higher risk’ and/or more complex human research ethics proposals takes time. Therefore, applications need to be received 2 weeks prior to a scheduled HREC to be included in the agenda. After quality check, applications are submitted to the next available meeting for review.
Remember, that you should always submit your human research ethics application documents as soon as they are ready, because not all ethics applications need to be reviewed by the HREC, quality reviews can take time and there is a maximum number of applications that can be placed on an HREC agenda.
For application that will need to be reviewed by the HREC, the following is the meeting schedule for 2021.
The Human Ethics office recommends to submit applications using the online system. Using your pheme login.
