Our research summaries pages have information about every research study that is reviewed by a Research Ethics Committee (REC) in the UK. The information in these research summaries is extracted from the IRAS application form. Further information about the research can be obtained from the contact details listed in the research summary.
These research summaries may also include a ‘Summary of Results’ directly below the ‘Research summary.’ Further information can be found in the 'Ending your project' Final report on the research section of the HRA website.
Sponsors may request the deferral of the publication of the research summary where there are concerns of commercial confidentiality. The sponsor/researcher/applicant can also request updates to the information published in the research summary.
