Hi Mark,

 

If you search for “research” on the Policy Library
[1]https://www.uwa.edu.au/policy you’ll find the Research Integrity
Policy.  I think you’ll find what you need there.  I can be sure as the
policy administrator for this one is unavailable right now.  While there
is nothing explicitly mentioned re: self-experimentation, there are
controls in there that reference the National Statement on Ethical Conduct
in Human Research etc.

 

Hope that helps somewhat.

Subject: Freedom of Information request - University research policies
regarding self-experimentation

 

To the University.

 

I would be grateful if you would, if possible, deal with this request
under administrative arrangements rather than invoking the cumbersome
machinery of the Freedom of Information/Right to Information Act.

 

I am seeking a copy of any policy documents that your university has (most
likely with your Human Research Ethics Committee [HREC], or similar)
regarding research involving self-experimentation, by which I mean those
projects or experiments in which the only participant is the researcher
themselves.

 

I am particularly interested in (i) whether your university has an
explicit policy regarding self-experimentation, and (ii) whether
self-experimentation requires HREC review.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mark R. Diamond
