Research ethics and integrity

Supporting the highest standards of research ethics and integrity

Research Ethics and Integrity (REI) fosters a culture of responsible research conduct as part of Murdoch University's commitment to research excellence. We enable best practice and compliance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research by providing:

  • advice to staff and research students on human and animal research ethics applications;
  • administrative support to Murdoch University's Human Research Ethics and Animal Ethics Committees; and
  • information and education programs that raise awareness on issues of research ethics and integrity.
