AUT Ethics Committee
AUT Ethics Committee (AUTEC) reviews research proposals involving human participants to ensure compliance with ethical guidelines. AUTEC is an Institutional Ethics Committee approved by the Health Research Council Ethics Committee.
AUTEC guidelines and procedures include a list of ethical principles used when reviewing applications. However, researchers themselves are responsible for ensuring their research meets these standards.
Research proposals must meet at least minimal standards of research adequacy to be considered ethical.
