This applies to the 1999 National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Research Involving Humans and has been archived here for reference purposes only.
Synopsis
The Human Research Ethics Handbook has been produced to assist members of Human Research Ethics Committees (HRECs) in the evaluation of the ethical acceptability of research proposals involving humans. The Handbook will also assist researchers to design and conduct ethically sound research.
The Handbook complements the NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) which is the primary guideline for ethics committees and researchers alike.
The Handbook has three parts:
- A Commentary on the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Research Involving Humans;
- A Research Ethics Collection; and
- A Research Law Collection.
The Handbook will be of use not only to members of HRECs and researchers, but also to research participants, students, research administrators and the public generally in providing useful information and references on most topics relevant to the ethical conduct of research.
