Research

All research conducted within the NL Health Services - Western Zone requires review and approval by the provincial Health Research Ethics Authority (HREA).  Applications for research review by the HREA are available here.

Once research is approved by the HREA, principal investigators will then have to submit their research to the Western Zone's Research Review Committee. The application for research review can be downloaded here . Through this research process, Western Zone will confirm if a proposed study can be accommodated and/or of benefit to the Zone.

Anyone requiring assistance with the research ethics review process can contact contact ResearchReview@westernhealth.nl.ca 

Thank you for your ongoing interest in research within Western Zone.
