Request for Amendment
Approval Process
The HEAG can only approve a Request for Amendment where the original application was approved by the HEAG committee i.e. Minimal Risk, Project-within-Program. If the Chair of the HEAG approves your Request for Amendment, the HEAG Administrator will then forward the Request for Amendment to the Research Office for noting.
A formal letter approving the Request for Amendment will be sent to the person named as the Responsible Researcher in THEMIS.
Any Request for Amendment to an application that was originally submitted to the HESC for approval i.e. project and program applications, can only be recommended for approval by the Chair of HEAG. The Request for Amendment is then forwarded to the HESC for review and approval.
Once an Amendment has been submitted, the ID number will change to reflect the new version of the application eg. from 0700000.1 to 0700000.2.
Who needs to sign a Request for Amendment?
Hard copies of Request for Amendments need to be signed by the responsible researcher and the Chair of the HEAG.
