Variations and post approval submissions - NALHN research projects

From time to time, amendments to research projects are required. The forms for these changes should be submitted electronically to the Research Governance Office (RGO) at healthnalhnrgo@sa.gov.au.

Please include:

  • Site-Specific Assessment (SSA) number in the title of the e-mail
  • Complete and attach the appropriate form/s
  • Attach all supporting documents
  • Attach fee form (if applicable)

Ensure that documents in the amendment are appropriately named with the document title, version number, version date (e.g. Protocol_V3_16Jan2018) and that documents are not locked. Do not send unnamed documents (e.g. files from a scanner titled 20188476565). Versions must correspond with the HREC approval.

Attach each document separately to one email (e.g. a separate file for the cover letter, protocol, PICF). Do not combine into a single PDF.

If the file is too large, please attach over a series of emails making it clear in the subject (e.g. SSA/16/NALHN/## Email 1 of 3).

If the amendment includes documents that require an original signature such as CTRAs, please ALSO submit these in hard copy to the RGO with a copy of the amendment form.
