Submission Deadlines & Ethics Review Dates
Full Ethics Review only
HREC and AREC Meeting Dates and Deadlines for submissions for 2023-24 are detailed below.
The AREC dates are at the bottom of this page and also available on the (opens in a new window)AREC Intranet.
Please note the following:
- there is a strict deadline date (see below) for the receipt of your application form - you are advised to submit early as there will be no opportunity to correct any errors beyond the deadline date;
- submissions for full review should be submitted online via SISweb/Infohub - not by email;
- there is a limit of 10 submissions per committee per month - submit early;
- it is the researcher's responsibility to ensure that their submission is on the latest version of the application form - from this website only - click here;
- submissions should include the correct supporting documents (HREC Only: include the HREC Support Document Template).
The deadline dates for submitting applications to either the HRECs or the AREC are usually 14-16 days in advance of the meeting - this allows for the processing of the submission and the time required to carry out the review by committee.
PLEASE NOTE: submissions received at the last minute on incorrect or incomplete forms, or after the deadline, will be returned to the applicant - no exceptions. Researchers, and where applicable, supervisors, are responsible for the quality of their submissions.
ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM (GMT) ON THE DEADLINE DATE BELOW
