The SALHN Research Hub is responsible for the governance of research activities carried out across the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network.
Research governance refers to the processes used by institutions to ensure that they are accountable for the research conducted under their auspices.
To be properly governed, research must be conducted according to established ethical principles, guidelines for responsible research conduct, relevant legislation and regulations and institutional policy. Research governance is also about credentialing and training of researchers and managing institutional risk.
Elements of research governance include:
- ethical approval
- compliance with legislation, regulations, guidelines and codes of practice
- legal matters, including contracts, and indemnity/insurance frameworks
- financial management, risk management and site-specific assessment
- institutional policies and procedures for responsible research conduct and managing research misconduct
- management of collaborative research
- reporting requirements
Within this framework, the Research Hub promotes high quality, accountable and responsible research compliant with national standards and guidelines.
