All applications are made through the online ethical review system in Sussex Direct. The Committee operates on a monthly cycle with a deadline of the 20th of each month. Find out how to apply.
The C-REC will not undertake reviews of new applications in August. Reviewing will commence again in September.
The Research Ethics and Integrity Committee (REIC) has the responsibility to hear appeals against the ethical review decision of a C-REC in the event that all reasonable dialogue between the Committee and the researcher has failed to reach a suitable outcome. Please contact the Senior Ethics Officer for further information.
Appeals relating to the decisions of supervisors or School Research Ethics Officers (SREOs) should be dealt with in the relevant School of Study.
