The Future of Research Ethics Review
The Ethics team at Manatū Hauora is reviewing how we are doing things to make sure that our ethics committees are running efficiently, well supported and resilient. Part of this is thinking about the future of the research ethics system and where we should be heading in the next five to ten years.
To start this process, we launched a public survey for a month from May-June 2023. We received around 430 responses from individuals and organisations. We were interested in how respondents thought the system is currently running, and their ideas about how it could be improved so that it provides the appropriate ethical review of health research and meets their needs.
We will present the results of the survey and how they will inform the next phase of the review of the research ethics review system and subsequent analysis/focus groups. We are looking to sharing the results with the NZACRES conference participants and receiving your input on potential areas for change.
