The Research Governance Framework

I Want to Conduct Social Care Research, What do I Need to do?

If you are planning to undertake some work, it will be subject to:

The RGF Process (Microsoft Word Document).
A Research Project Plan must be completed and submitted for approval before work can start. This can be completed as a Microsoft Word document or as an Online Form.

Before completing the Research Project Plan please read the Research Project Plan Guidance Notes (Microsoft Word Document).
