MyAV范 researchers with studies which fall outside of these categories should consult with听MyAV范 ethics.
There are typically four stages of approval that must be considered and in place before conducting a clinical research project:
The Joint Research Office will听support MyAV范 and MyAV范H researchers through the stages and approvals required to obtain any of these approvals:
- HRA approval
- NHS ethics approval
- MHRA approval
- CAG approval
- Permission to start at MyAV范H
In some cases, a study will require a sponsor鈥檚 legal representative in the UK (Clinical Trials with a sponsor outside of the UK) or for some medical devices, a designated UK Responsible Person.
A description of the responsibilities and requirements of each can be found on the .
Studies which require Sponsorship, a Legal Representative or other UK responsible person or organisation should follow the guidance on grant applications and sponsorship.
Studies which require NHS Site Assess, Arrange and Confirm approval at MyAV范H should follow the guidance set out here.
Studies which use anonymous data from MyAV范H (only) may be eligible for a combined sponsorship and AAC process called the DAP-R. DAP-R is relevant for studies sponsored by MyAV范 or MyAV范H only. See our Data pathways at MyAV范H webpage听for further information on the DAP-R and accessing data at MyAV范H.
Many studies will require statistical involvement. To find out about statistical support for research studies visit the Biostatistics group page.
