General
How do I create a REGGS account?
Please refer to our REGGS How-To Guides for instructions on how to create an account.
Who will be able to submit applications in REGGS?
Initial Research Governance applications may be prepared in REGGS by any member of a research team but must be submitted by the Principal Investigator of the study. This process replaces the need for the PI's signature on the document and is important to ensure compliance.
However, any research team members with appropriate delegation in the system will be able to submit amendments/post-approvals on the PI's behalf. It is the study team member's responsibility to ensure the PI approves this process.
Can more than one person prepare/edit an application in REGGS?
Yes. Applications are able to be can be shared with multiple members of a study team. Please note only one person will be able to edit the application at any one time, to prevent accidental overwriting of each other's work!
Why is a Project Registration Form important?
Before you are able to prepare an Ethics and/or Governance application in REGGS, you must now complete a Project Registration Form. Information entered into the Project Registration Form will help REGGS to identify whether a Human Research Ethics Application (HREA) and/or Site-Specific Assessment (SSA) will be required for your project.
The Project Registration Form is also a way to link projects happening at multiple facilities, allowing Master study documents to be uploaded once and shared with all related sites.
How will I be notified of the status of my application in REGGS?
REGGS will send automatic email notifications to nominated contacts as your applications progress through certain stages of review. Applicants are also able to check the status of each application at any time by logging into REGGS, giving them more control over the process.
Ethics
All applications to a Ramsay HREC must now be completed and submitted in REGGS. See our Ethics page for further information.
My study uses an RHC HREC but is exempt from RGO. Can I still submit in REGGS?
Yes! Although REGGS is one system, all Ethics & Governance submissions are processed separately, allowing you to apply for whichever combination of services you require.
Governance
All applications for Research Governance must be completed and submitted in REGGS (Site-Specific Approvals) See our Governance page for further information,
My study uses an external HREC but requires Ramsay Research Governance approval. Can REGGS process Research Governance Applications with external/non-Ramsay HREC oversight?
Yes! Although REGGS is one system, all Ethics & Governance submissions are processed separately, allowing you to apply for whichever combination of services you require.
