Neami Research and Evaluation Committee

Neami has a Research and Evaluation Committee to approve and support research and evaluation.

This is not a fully constituted Human Ethics Committee but it plays an important role in the direction and oversight of research and evaluation activities at Neami.

The Committee draws on the following in considering Neami’s involvement in the conduct of projects:

Research and evaluation activities are conducted in a way that is safe, respectful and ethical, underpinned by notions of consumer involvement and human rights
Maximal consumer involvement in the conceptualisation, design, planning, conduct and dissemination of projects
Alignment with current organisational priorities and strategic directions
Projects hold direct relevance for consumers of Neami National, and inform the what, how and why of our approaches to service delivery
That Neami National has the required resources, systems, and structures to effectively facilitate projects

The Committee is co-chaired by the Neami Chief Executive Officer and a consumer representative, and typically comprises 9-12 members, including Neami staff and consumers, external academic and consumer researchers.

To learn more about the Committee, read the Neami Research and Evaluation Framework. If you like to discuss your project, or have any questions, please contact the Research Coordinator
