Guidance
Ethics application process
Ethics Application Process [PDF]
- All IASR staff and PGR research student projects must receive ethical approval via the IASR Research Institute Ethics Panel
- Advance notification of ethics application is now required. This should ensure applications are dealt with promptly. Applications should be submitted no later than three weeks after notification.
- Both advance notification [F1] and full ethics applications [F2] should be submitted electronically on the IASR forms (send to Hemlata Naranbhai at hemlata.naranbhai@beds.ac.uk)
- Expedited approval is granted only in exceptional circumstances, i.e. where it has not been possible to submit an application any earlier and work is due to start imminently.
