Central University Research Ethics Committee
The Central University Research Ethics Committee (CUREC) reports to the Research and Innovation Committee.
Description
The Central University Research Ethics Committee (CUREC) has overall responsibility for the development of the University’s policy on research involving human participants, human tissue and personal data, and for the University’s ethics review process.
CUREC does not provide ethics review or approval of individual research project applications. Such applications should be sent to the relevant CUREC subcommittee. Further information about how and where to apply for ethical review is available on the research ethics pages.
