Yes. A HREC may be accredited as a lead HREC in one or both of the following categories: • clinical trials/interventional clinical research; and • general research (which includes epidemiological research, population health research, health services research, qualitative research, clinical research of a non-interventional nature and other general categories of research). In addition, a few HRECs operate in specialised therapeutic areas. For example, the Cancer Institute NSW Clinical Research Ethics Committee will accept cancer related research only.
