Rigorous Human Ethics
The HREC is enabled through:
- Keeping in touch with current practices of accepted ethical behaviour in academic research
- Ensuring NIODA ethics policies and procedures reflect such behaviour, and
- Reviewing and approving all ethics applications for research undertaken in the institute (both staff and students) that involves humans
The HREC reports to the Academic Board of Governance through quarterly reports and an annual written report. Each report details NIODA’s research ethics activity with recommendations for quality improvements. The annual report is also be included as data in NIODA’s annual strategic review undertaken by the Board of Governance.
