Research conduct and ethics

The Australian Research Council is committed to fostering the highest ethical standards in research. Projects approved for funding by the ARC may not begin without appropriate ethical clearances from the relevant committees and/or authorities.

ARC-funded research should comply with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research.

Research involving humans or animals must comply with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) codes.
