What is changing about the ANU’s Human Ethics Review?
A new three-level classification of ethical risk will be used to simplify the preparation and ethical review of protocols, and to streamline the ethical review of low-risk protocols. To assist in the introduction of the new system, and also to improve the efficiency of administration, the ANU is introducing a new on-line application form in the ANU Research Enterprise System ARIES. The new system draws from an approach to ethical review that has been used successfully at Griffith University for a number of years.
