Single site low risk applications

Researchers wishing to conduct their research at other sites should consider a multi-site application and approach those institutions for their ethics and governance requirements.

If still in doubt about which type of application to complete, researchers are encouraged to seek guidance from the Office of Ethics and Research Governance.
