NHMRC Requirements
It is a requirement of the National Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC)
that all medical or scientific research done on humans or animals must be
approved by a properly constituted ethics committee. All research
involving humans should conform to the
National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) and the
Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007).
AMREP Requirements
The AMREP Council has implemented
A Guide to Good Research Practice, with the aim of ensuring that medical research
undertaken within AMREP is conducted to the highest scientific and ethical
standards. All research staff should ensure that the work they are involved
in adheres to these guidelines, which are based on the Monash
University School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine Guide to
Good Research Practice, 4th edition, 2011. |
