Ethical Review Process

Reporting Requirements


There are reporting requirements that are a condition of ethics committee approval for a research project. These requirements include submission of progress reports and a final report, and the reporting of serious adverse events to the committee that gave ethical approval to the project.

Progress reports and final report
Ethics committee approval requires researchers to submit annual reports and a final report.

Please note that it is the researcher's responsibility to ensure annual reports are provided to the ethics committee. Ethical approval may be withdrawn if reports are not received.

Reporting of serious adverse events (SAEs)
Researchers are required to report Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) that occur during a research project to the ethics committee that gave ethical approval to the project.
