Notices

From 24 November 2025, the Ethics RM system will have a refreshed design and new navigation layout. The application process for AHREC, UAHPEC, AEC and BSC committees is not changing.  

From February 2026, applications for AHREC and UAHPEC will use a new combined Ethics RM application form. This form will align with the Updated Human Ethical Guidelines, which is currently available and will take effect at the same time. These changes are part of the Research Ethics Improvement Plan.

If you are obtaining animals from the VJU, or using the VJU to house your animals, the AEC approval will automatically be loaded into the Tick@lab database after you receive the approval letter. Please enter the exact strain/breed/type from the list attached to section C2 to ensure the animals are correctly loaded into the Tick@lab database. If the strain/breed/type is not on the list, please contact the VJU before submitting your application.
