The Research Ethics website has been updated to take into account last week’s ethics restructure implementation. The research ethics restructure sees the formation of two Research Ethics Panels which will act on behalf of the University Research Ethics Committee (UREC), moving from a School-based to an integrated discipline-based model. The restructure identifies the two Research Ethics Panels as Science, Technology & Health and Social Sciences & Humanities.
The updated Research Ethics website includes sections on:
- The purpose of ethical approval at BU
- How to apply for ethical review
- Explanation of the review and approval process for students and staff (to include ‘above minimal risk’ and expedited review)
- Research Ethics Panels (REP)
- University Research Ethics Committee (UREC)
- NHS Ethical Review
- Training and Guidance
- Useful Documents
- Contact Us
Please get in touch with Julia Hastings Taylor if you have any questions on the updated Research Ethics website or if you’d like to see any additional information.
