The appropriate review pathway for your human research project depends on the level of risk and for multisite ethical review the number and location of sites included for review.
The following matters must be considered before submitting an ethics application
Preparing your Ethics Application
ERM (Ethics Review Manager) submission system
Useful advice on how to create, submit and manage your ethics and research governance applications in ERM can be found at National Mutual Acceptance.
EPIC Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
Pre-Submission Survey: All new projects that will run at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre site must complete the EPIC EMR Pre-Submission Survey. You will require your 5-digit ERM number to complete the survey. This is the 5-digit number generated by the ERM submission system - for example, HREC/XXXXX/PMCC.
Research Participants: The Peter Mac patient brochure 'What happens to information about you?' must be provided to all Peter Mac patients being recruited to a research project that will access the patient's medical record. This brochure is found on iPolicy as PIP6.1.1.7 What happens to information about you?
