Ethics Review Manager (ERM)
ERM is the online platform used for submission and review of all applications to the Mater Misericordiae Limited Human Research Ethics Committee, the Mater Research Governance Office and the Mater Research Early Phase Clinical Trials Expert Advisory Committee.
Queensland Health and Victoria Department of Health share the ERM platform with Mater Research, and this reduces the number of submissions required on interstate multi-site studies.
All forms and documents submitted via ERM are securely stored within ERM and are easily accessible for future reference by users with appropriate permissions.
All approval signatures from authorising personnel, such as Department heads, are collected electronically within ERM, replacing the need for paper documents.
