Work is wrapping up this month on the Initial Deliverables, a set of foundational elements of the Research Approvals Processes Project (RAPP). Deliverables scheduled for implementation will be refined and built upon based on evaluation and feedback post-introduction. The RAPP team developed the Initial Deliverables in partnership with health authority leadership, staff and researchers, which are divided by workstream: Ethics, Privacy, Operational Review, Contracts and Agreements, Data and Front Counter. These Phase I deliverables are set to be completed by the end of the 2024/25 fiscal and Phase II work will begin in the next fiscal.
