What is the PSRP? FAQs about the PSRP (November 2020)
The PSRP is a joint venture by the University of Sussex, University of Brighton, Brighton and Sussex Universities Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUHT) and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SPFT).
The PSRP is made up of academics, clinical researchers, quantitative and qualitative researchers, research governance representatives, disease area and specialist experts, research nurses, patient and public involvement members, statisticians and trial and data Managers.
The Panel uses its wide expertise to review studies and make sponsorship recommendations to each of its four partners.
A study that meets required standards will be recommended to the Sponsorship Sub-Committee.
Applicants should consult the PSRP Document Submission Checklist before starting their application to ensure the appropriate documentation is submitted for Sponsorship review.
