Ethics Review Manager (Ethics RM or ERM)(external link)(external link) has replaced the manual submission system for application and review of ECART applications for fertility clinics.
Ethics RM went live on 01 September 2021 for HDECs and the 27 June 2024 for ECART. Ethics RM uses a powerful ethics review software to manage the full life cycle of all applications from clinic to reviewer. The system makes completing ethics applications easier and allows for more efficient management and reporting.
A user manual for ERM is available here.
Training sessions for ERM for ECART applicants will be held over the period 01 July– 19 July 2024. With ongoing support for applicants and reviewers beyond that via email or Ethics RM correspondence.
Video recording of training sessions will be made available, alongside an FAQ once training has commenced and will be included here for those unable to participate in sessions and for those wishing to refer back.
