Before a human research ethics application can be submitted to the Ethics Officer, it first must be endorsed by your Head of Unit/ Head of School.
Schools have nominated roles that can endorse applications at a discipline level before they are submitted for ethical review. If you are unsure of who holds the relevant position in your Faculty, please consult HES or BELA or follow up with your supervisor.
