Incidental recruitment of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people in a study, does not necessarily constitute Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research.  \nWhat are the new national guidelines?  \nIn 2018, the NHMCR released two sets of guidelines regarding Indigenous research as well as a strategic framework for improving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health through research, in addition to changes to the Australian Code and National Statement.  \nThe guidelines, Ethical conduct in research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and communities: Guidelines for researchers and stakeholders 2018 and Keeping research on track II 2018, provide a much stronger emphasis on the requirement that human research undertaken with Indigenous people or about issues that impact Indigenous peoples and communities are done so with Indigenous agreement, leadership and oversight.  \nWhy were these new guidelines introduced?  \nThe new NHMRC guidelines for research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and communities aim to:  \n• improve the way all researchers work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their communities;  \n• ensure cultural safety for the researchers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their communities;  \n• develop and/or strengthen research capabilities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their communities;  \n• enhance the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as researchers, research partners, collaborators and participants in research.  \nHow does this affect submissions of ethical protocols for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research after 1 July 2019?  \nYou will need to demonstrate that your project is Indigenous-led, supported by relevant Peoples and communities, and is of benefit to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.  \nFollowing 1 July 2019, the CDU-HREC will no longer be accepting applications for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research projects that do not demonstrate the new requirements.  \nWhat should I include in my CDU-HREC ethics application after 1 July 2019 to demonstrate that my project is Indigenous-led, supported by relevant Peoples and communities, and is of benefit to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples?  \nIf you are wanting to conduct research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities, your application should include (as a minimum):  \n• A completed CDU-HREC application – make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the HREC application from the CDU Human Research Ethics webpage.  \n• A signed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research Agreement (ATSIRA) . There is a template and guidelines available from the CDU Human Research Ethics webpage. Where an ATSIRA is not appropriate, researchers will need to establish how the project incorporate Indigenous leadership throughout the course of the project and provide an appropriate Research Project Management Plan.  \n• Letters or other culturally appropriate and demonstrable means of endorsement from the appropriate people and/or communities.  \n• Plain language statement(s) .  \n• Consent form(s) .  \nWhat is an ‘ATSIRA’?  \nAn ATSIRA is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research Agreement (ATSIRA) .  \nThe purpose of a research agreement is to have a negotiated and detailed agreement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and/or communities so that each party fully understands what is expected from them and each other.  \nResearch agreements are important because they provide protection for organisations and communities involved in the research and for researchers","cbCailx2drVp8Ewn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailx2drVp8Ewn","pdf",712011,"English","# What constitutes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research?\n# What are the new national guidelines?\n# Why were these new guidelines introduced?\n# How does this affect submissions of ethical protocols after 1 July 2019?\n# What should be included in a CDU-HREC ethics application after 1 July 2019?\n# What is an ‘ATSIRA’?\n# What does ‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’ led research mean?\n# Why is communication and building relationships important when undertaking this type of research?","[{\"question\":\"What constitutes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research?\",\"answer\":\"It is research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples or related to their lives, culture, and relevant issues.
