Introduction
Research governance and ethics review aims to uphold the principles, requirements and standards of research. It addresses protection of research participants, the safety and quality of research, privacy and confidentiality, financial probity, legal and regulatory matters, risk management and monitoring arrangements and promotes good research culture and practice (NHMRC, 2011).
Within the Network and other NSW Public Health Organisations, research governance and ethics review is undertaken in accordance with key guidelines, policies and legislation. Please go to Resources for more information.
