Ethics application process

Human research ethics applications

Bond University Human Research Ethics Committee (BUHREC) operates a research application and review process for projects ranging from online surveys to clinical trials.

The application involves preparing a Project Description or Protocol which is reviewed in two phases – first by the relevant faculty and then by the central BUHREC team.

All new applications must be submitted using the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Human Research Ethics Application (HREA) formthrough your Pure account.
