About the Committees

Upper South A and B Committees

Jurisdiction


The Upper South A and Upper South B Regional Ethics Committees are responsible for reviewing proposals for research that is to be carried out entirely within the following district health board regions:
  • Map showing jurisdiction of Upper South A and Upper South B Regional Ethics Committee. Nelson Marlborough
  • West Coast
  • Canterbury
  • South Canterbury

If a proposal involves a single study locality within these district health board regions, or multiple study localities all of which are within these district health board regions, then it should be considered by either the Upper South A or Upper South B Regional Ethics Committee.

If a proposal involves any study locality outside of the above district health board regions, that proposal cannot be considered by the Upper South A or Upper South B Regional Ethics Committee. If such a study also involves study localities within the above district health board regions, it should be submitted to the Multi-region Ethics Committee.

If you are unsure which committee you should send your research proposal to, you should contact the National Co-ordinator.
