Human Ethics Project Report

The University is not only obliged to monitor human research to ensure the rights and interests of participants are protected, it is also concerned to foster responsible research, thereby maintaining the reputation of the University and its researchers. Researchers are required to provide a brief report outlining the implementation of the ethics protocol at the completion of any project that received ethics approval from the UWS HREC or HREC Executive. A single report is to be supplied to the Ethics Officer at completion of the project.

Any unforeseen events, adverse or otherwise, or significant variations to the research protocol which might affect continued ethical acceptability of the project should be reported immediately to the UWS Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) by email to Miss Jill Shute the Human Ethics Officer - humanethics@uws.edu.au. 

Include the following in your email:

• Project title
• HREC approval number
• A description of the event or incident
• A description of the steps take to resolve the issue. 
  

Projects that are approved for longer than one year are required to provide progress reports annually to the Ethics Officer.

For progress and final reports please use the HREC Ethics Protocol Report Form (PDF, 1.6Mb).
