What happens to multi-centre research projects approved by a NSW Health HREC prior to implementation of the single ethical review system?
Research projects previously approved by a NSW Health HREC continue to operate in accordance with previous HREC arrangements. For example, amendment requests continue to require approval by each HREC which provided original ethical approval. Where the research project is to be extended to an additional site, an ethics application may be submitted to the HREC associated with the site or to a lead HREC. Where the research project is to be extended to more than one additional site, an ethics application must be submitted to a lead HREC.
