All applications need to be formally submitted to researchethics@gre.ac.uk.
As of April 2025, the ethical approval process changed and all applications submitted to UREB are processed on a rolling basis and assigned a risk category. Please note, whilst there are no longer strict deadlines in which applications need to be submitted to UREB ahead of a meeting, applications received within two weeks of the meeting taking place will automatically be referred to the meeting due to administration timelines and processing. If a member of staff or students have any questions surrounding the submission process, or need guidance on completing the application form, refer to Guidance on Ethical Approval for Research or email researchethics@gre.ac.uk or the Faculty Research Ethics Committee.
