Research studies by students
As part of their educational qualification, University of Glasgow students may be required to conduct a research project. In many cases, this will involve humans, their data or tissue and may, therefore, be subject to certain regulations to ensure the safety of participants and the quality of the information collected.
The regulatory landscape can be daunting, and which approvals are required before a study can begin will depend on the nature of the research. To help navigate the process, this roadmap details the various stages you may encounter and the order in which you should do things. Information for each ‘button’ can be found here.
If you have questions and you can’t find the answer within these webpages or the links contained within, speak to your Academic Supervisor in the first instance. If you need further guidance, the MVLS Research Governance Office can be contacted.
