New arrangements for studies using the NRES form online system

 
August 2009
 
From 1 September 2009 the online NRES form system  will be completely closed. Notice of the closure was given in April 2009 and alternative arrangements for preparing applications for ethical review have been available through the Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) since January 2008.

From 1 September, old applications in the NRES form system may be viewed and printed but it will no longer be possible to create a new application form, duplicate, unlock or submit any existing forms in this system.

To add sites or submit amendments to existing studies you will need to create a minimal dataset in the Integrated Research Application System. Completion of a small number of fields will provide the appropriate information to create SSI Forms and amendment forms for existing studies.

For details of how to use this function, please see the guidance on the Help page in IRAS .
