Research governance at NALHN

The Research Governance Office is keen to discuss your project proposals with you at an early stage wherever possible and can help navigate the necessary paperwork needed to lodge a research application.

In accordance with the SA Health Research Governance Directive (PDF 319KB), all research within the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network (NALHN) requires authorisation of the delegated officer (Executive Director, Medical Services) before commencing.

At a minimum, this will includes a Site-Specific Assessment (SSA) (either a full SSA or Low/Negligible Risk form), research protocol, ethics approvals, and other supporting documents, depending on the type of study.
