R&D Approval Submission
We operate a VALID APPLICATION process . We will review each project only upon receipt of all documents required . This enables us to guarantee a quick turnaround time (review and sign off within 25 days of reciept of your valid application) so you can plan the start of your project eg initiation dates, investigator meetings, patient recruitement timescales, more efficiently.
Sponsor Declaration - Confirmation by the Sponsor before submitting your REC application
The REC require confirmation from
the Sponsor before accepting your application.
If you book the application with NRES before notifying the R&D,
you run the risk of missing your ethics committee slot. It is the Chief investigator's
responsibility to allow sufficient time for R&D Approval before the deadlines
required for Research Ethics review.
All CTIMP’s should continue to be submitted as early as possible to the R&D QA team to ensure timely sign off prior to REC review.
How to apply for R&D Approval
We are piloting a new process for R&D Approval and we would encourage you to us this. This is currently on a consultation in use basis.
We would welcome your feedback on how we can improve the process so please let us know. email R&D@leedsth.nhs.uk
We have developed this process to take into account the forthcoming NIHR Coordinated System for Gaining NHS Permissions. (NIHR CSP).

Or you can use our current process:
If it is anticipated that the Trust or the University of Leeds will be the Research Sponsor, then please contact the QA Team at the earliest opportunity.
Please note that there are no deadlines for the submission of R&D documents for approval and so these documents may be subbmitted at any time.
