Bond University Human Research Ethics Committee (BUHREC) is committed to protecting the welfare and rights of human participants in research conducted by members of the Bond University community.
In doing so, BUHREC will promote ethically, socially, scientifically and legally responsible research activity among all members of Bond University.
Vision
BUHREC seeks to promote the Bond University vision of being a leading independent university, "with high moral values [and] world standing in its scholarship" by ensuring that research at the University meets the ideals and guidelines of the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Research Involving Humans provided by the National Health and Medical Research Council.
BUHREC Membership
Appointment of Members
Members are appointed for renewable terms of 2 years by invitation of the Chair of BUHREC. The Chair will advise the Bond University Research Committee of the nomination. No limit is placed on the number of terms a member may serve. However, members have tended to serve for two terms.
Upon completion of a term and discontinuation of membership, a former member may be invited to serve in the role of the relevant alternate member to ensure continuity of experience.
Members are provided with the necessary training and/or resource materials necessary to consider the ethical merits of protocol applications.
