The process for obtaining research ethical approval has been made as simple as possible across City, it is consistent with ensuring that the human rights of research participants and researchers are protected.
Contacts for application advice
In the first instance you will need to follow the guidelines and policies provided by your Department / School. Senate Research Ethics Committee (SREC) will only deal with applications from Schools without local Committees or instances where a local Committee refers an application to Senate Research Ethics Committee in accordance with agreed local policy and procedures.
Note that applications submitted to SREC for convenience (e.g. more suitable deadlines or missing a local deadline) will not be accepted.
