After you have made a booking

You will receive an email confirming your booking and REC reference number. You will need to return to the application form in IRAS and add the REC name, REC reference number, and submission date at the start of the form.

You must then electronically submit your application. This must be done on the same day as making your booking. Return to the form’s e-submission tab and click ‘e-submit application’.

If your study has been submitted for Proportionate Review, a REC manager will undertake a pre-screen. If your application is better suited to a Full REC review – because it does not meet the criteria for proportionate review – you will be contacted within two working days and arrangements will be made for the application to be transferred.
