Forms and Documentation

Applications to the Research and Ethics Office

Research applications have specific regulatory and documentation guidelines, namely:

  • Applications must be complete, incomplete applications will be returned to the researcher
  • Principal Investigators must sign all correspondence
  • Applications must be submitted by the closing date (according to meeting timetable)

How to apply

To submit an application, download the appropriate forms and complete. As part of the move towards electronic submission of research applications, you will need to submit an electronic copy of all documentation (to ethics@eyeandear.org.au), plus one original signed application, plus the appropriate copies (see below for number of copies required).

All documentation is to be collated, so that each item of supporting documentation is attached to each copy of the application form. Each copy should be double-sided and stapled/clipped together. Individual items such as indemnity statements, CVs, CTN forms and clinical trial agreements are to be placed with the original, paper application.

If your project is being conducted under the CTN scheme, you will also be asked to submit an electronic version of all documents to ethics@eyeandear.org.au . Any commercial or patentable information should be marked 'commercial-in-confidence'.
