HREC & LNR Committee Submission & Meeting Dates 

Please see Committee Details and Meeting Dates tab.

What happens after the meeting?

It may take up to 10 days to receive feedback. After the meeting, the Committee's comments are collated. Guidelines, policy, legislation or experts are consulted as required and the comments are then formulated into clear feedback. This is approved by the Committee chair prior to being sent out. For high volume and complex meetings, it can take a number of days to prepare feedback.

Having your study peer reviewed prior to submission is a great way to improve your application.
