AU Research Ethics Processes

Abstract

Why do we have a Research Ethics Board (REB)? Where can research ethics training and resources be found? Do we have expedited review? What is "AU Institutional Permission", and when is it needed? Dr. Patrick Fahy, REB Chair, and Janice Green, ethics administrator, will discuss the development and progress of research ethics review at AU, highlighting new procedures and processes implemented to assist applicants, aid reviewers, and speed up approvals. Tips and common ethics application problems will be shared.
