The Larkmoor University Human Research Ethics Committee protects the rights, safety and wellbeing of everyone who takes part in research. Submit your study online and follow every step of the review.
Review step 3 of 5 - reviewers are reading your application
One guided application, clear status at every step, and all letters and certificates in one place.
Answer short questions step by step. Your work is saved as you go and a checklist shows what is still missing.
See where your submission is - screening, review, meeting or decision - and get an e-mail at every change.
Questions and answers stay with the submission, so nothing is lost in e-mail threads.
Download decision letters and certificates of approval. Each certificate has a QR code to check it online.
Reminders before your approval expires, so your study never has to stop for a missed deadline.
Reviewers declare conflicts of interest, your team never reviews its own study, and every action is recorded.
Create an account, add your ethics-training certificate and fill in the application.
Upload your protocol and consent forms. Student studies are endorsed by the adviser online.
The ethics office checks that everything is complete and chooses the review route.
Committee members review the study - alone for low-risk studies, or at a full meeting.
You receive the decision letter and, when approved, the certificate of approval.
The route depends on the risk to participants. The office decides it at screening.
Minimal-risk studies such as anonymous surveys or anonymised records. Confirmed by the chair.
Minimal-risk studies reviewed by one or two committee members, plus the time to answer questions.
Studies with more than minimal risk are discussed at a convened meeting. Reviewers have 14 days before the meeting.
All submissions - new studies, amendments, renewals and safety reports - are now made through this website. Create an account with your institution e-mail address, add your ethics-training certificate and start your application. You can follow every step of the review and download your letters and certificates at any time.
We have simplified the participant information sheet template. Please use the new version for studies submitted from next month. Studies already approved do not need to change their documents.
The meeting calendar for the coming months is now published, with the submission deadline for each meeting. Studies that need a full-board review must be complete by the deadline to be placed on the agenda.
