No generic email addresses can be used Create a Project Registration in REGIS: All information in the Project Registration must be correctly entered from the start as this PID cannot be edited. List the CPI (Coordinating Principle Investigator) at time of project registration. CPI must have a REGIS account. CPI cannot be a student (refer to project registration 1.9.10). 1.9.11 respond YES to CPI question. All participating sites for which HREC approval is sought must be nominated at this stage. St Vincent’s Hospital including Sacred Heart Hospice and St Joseph’s Hospital come under SVHN (St Vincent’s Health Network).Note that separate SSAs are required for St Vincent’s Hospital and St Joseph’s Hospital. A Cover Letter must be submitted listing ALL sites and documents and in the case of clinical trials, indicate the phase of the study. You also must attach previous EMAIL correspondence with the Research Office directly prior to your REGIS submission stating what level of risk (LNR or full HREC). Documents MUST be named according to the REGIS file naming conventions - please refer to the Quick Reference Guides for Research Applicants on the REGIS website You will be issued a PID reference number. A HREA cannot be initiated until this step is completed. Create a HREA in REGIS: You will be issued an ETH reference number (different to Project Registration number). All questions must be answered. The CPI and study contact must be clearly identified and contact details provided. Study Contact/student can prepare the submission. CPI must complete the final submit. Communications are only sent to CPI and contact listed in REGIS. All investigators (if multiple) on HREA must have a REGIS account. Create an SSA/STE in REGIS: You will be issued a STE reference number (different to Project registration number and different to ETH number). All questions must be answered. Study contact/Student can prepare. CPI must submit. All Head of Departments and Head of Supporting Departments must have a REGIS account. SSA can only be approved AFTER HREC approval. Approval / Post-Approval: In REGIS you will have 3 Reference numbers linked to your study (PID # / ETH # / STE #). Read your Approval Emails carefully as some unique special conditions may apply. Annual Report is due 1 year after HREC approval. You must submit all amendments via REGIS. SVH Research Office will not provide retrospective HREC and/or governance approval.
