EXPEDITED REVIEW PROCESS |

ALL projects submitted to ethics must be
registered at the Research Office as per
ADHB Research Policies
and Procedures.
|
|
1 - Complete the ADHB
Observational Research Review Form
[ADHB
application form /
guide ]
If your research has costs and revenue, begin to prepare
information required to develop a research
budget e.g. consumables, person
time, laboratory, pharmacy.
Ask your service/research accountant for help to complete the
Research Budget
Template / (guide).
All budgets must be endorsed by the service/research accountant. Endorsement can be made via e-mail or signature on
the budget hard copy.
This is not required for Audits. However, it is your responsibility to confirm
with your Clinical Director (or similar) and Manager that they are happy to
cover any costs incurred through the undertaking of your audit. |

2 - Obtain
Approval at Departmental/Service Level
For Audits and no costs Observational Research - signature of the Clinical Director only
For Observational Research (costs) –
signature of the Clinical Director, Service Accountant and the Service
Manager is required.
Signatures can be provided either as
|
|
a. |
Original signatures on the ADHB
Observational Research Review Form |
|
b. |
E-mail confirmation / endorsement from the appropriate people to
the Research Office. The e-mail must have the project number and title within
the message body so as to ensure the confirmation is allocated to the correct
project |
|
c. |
Electronic signatures on the ADHB
Observational Research Review Form |
|
|
|

If you are undertaking a
review across two clear disciplines or service areas (i.e. Children oncology and
Adult oncology) then obtain signatures of both Clinical Directors. The signatures required reflect the service you are undertaking your
research/audit within not the service, department you belong to.
If the Principal Investigator is
also the clinical director of the department/service where the research is to be
undertaken, Section B will require the signature of the person the clinical
director reports to, e.g. clinical leader / medical director.
If the ADHB contact person is
also the clinical director of the department/service where the research is to be
undertaken, Section B will require the signature of the person the clinical
director reports to, e.g. clinical leader / medical director.
