Human Ethics Applications

[Researchers should refer to details of mandatory training:
https://www.jcu.edu.sg/research/research-ethics-and-integrity-overview]

Researchers are responsible for making themselves familiar with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research, which is available for download. While all relevant sections of the statement should be reviewed when preparing an ethics application for each project, the JCU Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) recommends that researchers pay particular attention to SECTION 3: ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, REVIEW AND CONDUCT OF RESEARCH.

Closing Dates for Ethics Applications

These are the dates when applications are processed by the HREC. Please pay attention to the Closing Dates for Human Ethics Advisors to allow sufficient time for review prior to submission to the HREC.
