Procedures for external researchers
External researchers are required to obtain approval from UREC before recruiting students or staff at Oxford Brookes to their research. The procedure is much the same as it is for staff and research students at Brookes. An application for research ethics review should be made on the UREC E2U form.
A complete copy of the application (completed E2U form plus supporting documents) should be sent to the UREC Administrator, Louise Wood at the address below. Deadline for applications is two weeks before the Committee meets.
If the study has been given approval from another REC, for example at another institution or an NHS REC, the applicant does not need to go through the full review process again rather the application can be approved via Chairs actions. A copy of the application to the original REC together with supporting documents plus a copy of the full approval letter from the committee should be forwarded to the UREC Administrator at the address below.
External researchers are also expected to give careful consideration to both participant information sheets and formal consent forms.
