Papua New Guinea Health Research Portal

The Papua New Guinea Health Research Portal is to be used for submitting health research applications for ethics review by the national Medical Research Advisory Committee (MRAC), and any future sub-committees established under the MRAC. All health research conducted in Papua New Guinea should be submitted to the MRAC for review and a decision on the type of review to be done based on the research to be conducted.

In addition, this portal allows users to search and download selected information on approved - past and on-going - health research studies in Papua New Guinea. It also includes announcements on key events or updates related to research.

Please ensure to review the Health Research Portal User Guide found under “Policies and Guidelines” for step-by-step guidance on how to submit proposals and navigate other features of the site.
