Annual Reporting

A condition of approval for all protocols is that an annual report is submitted. Reports are usually due on the anniversary of approval, but occasionally they are requested at a more frequent interval.

The Ethics Committee will notify researchers about the due date of the progress reports at least 4 weeks in advance.

Ethics approval is ongoing but will lapse if the progress report is not received by the anniversary of the approval date, or, is not deemed satisfactory by the Ethics Committee.

If the Committee is not satisfied with the progress report, researchers will be informed about subsequent action.

Fieldwork

‘Fieldwork’ applies to Scientific Procedures conducted at premises not listed on a licence and can be conducted under a SPPL or SPFL. Prior to commencement of a Fieldwork project, it must be reviewed by the Animal Ethics Committee, including the premises to be used. If approval for a Fieldwork project has been given, the AREC must forward details of the project to the Bureau of Animal Welfare. This should be done as soon as the project receives final approval and before animal use begins.

The Fieldwork Notification form is to be completed and attached to your application at the time of submission.
