Research feedback

How to provide feedback about research

Research issues or concerns about research conduct may be received about researchers or the conduct of research, or about the conduct of the Metro South Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC).
They may be made by participants, researchers, staff of institutions, or others.
All research concerns received will be handled promptly and sensitively.
For more information about how we can assist employees, members of the community or participants who are unsure about a research conduct issue and may be considering whether to make an allegation or a complaint about research please see research integrity.

At MSH we welcome general feedback about research to continuously improve our research related processes and to ensure participant safety.
You can report any research conduct or protocol issues directly to the MSHREC.
Please see our Research related enquires page for our contact details.

To provide feedback or concerns about a research project please refer to the relevant contact details on the Participant Information and Consent Form (PICF).

MSH has appointed MSH employees from each service/facility to the roles of RIA.
RIAs promote the responsible conduct of research at MSH and are able to provide advice on good research practice.
Anyone with a question or concern about research practices should speak to a RIA as soon as possible. Issues can often be avoided with early and appropriate communication.
Individuals may speak to a MSH RIA from any service/facility.
