1. What is the NHG Research Online Administrator and Management (ROAM)?

 

The NHG Research Online Administrator Management (ROAM) is an Internet-based system for the submissions of all research applications for Ethics review and approval to the NHG Domain Specific Review Board (DSRB).


The ROAM portal may be accessed via the NHG Research website at http://www.research.nhg.com.sg/.
