What is NEAF? What is NEAF?
• Web-based human research ethics application form• Hosted on a dedicated website• For any research project involving human participants• To meet National Statement on Ethical Conduct in
Research Involving Humans and other national guidelines
• Dynamic – expands/contracts in response to answers• Complete proposals as PDF, XML or Access* data files• Developed by NHMRC with the support of ARC, AVCC

Origins of NEAFOrigins of NEAF
• 2001 - Melbourne meeting with developers of Victorian DHS Common form
• Encouragement that AHEC build on their work toward a national form
• Discussions with similar outcomes with developers of common form used by NSW universities
![Page 4: National Ethics Application Form (NEAF)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568159d7550346895dc725ef/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Development of NEAFDevelopment of NEAF
• Steering group - wide representation• Working Party - members from health
institutions & universities, WA, TAS, Vic, QLD & NSW
• WP developed text & logic• Steering Group + targeted consultation
on text• IT contract let & web-based form built• Testing & feedback• Final adjustments made

Goals of NEAFGoals of NEAF
• To collect all information that HRECs need in order to be satisfied that a research proposal meets relevant national ethical guidelines
• To assist researchers by links to guidelines, reference material & help in answering questions
• Promote timely, consistently comprehensive ethical review
• Facilitate ethical review of multi-site research projects
