When the HRA became a Non Departmental Public Body on 1 January 2015, we took formal responsibility for research in adult social care.

Emergency research poses its own set of challenges in terms of providing information about the research and obtaining consent.

We offer a programme of training opportunities and shared learning resources for the research community, Research Ethics Committees (RECs), Confidentially Advisory Group (CAG) members and HRA staff.

We have a growing programme of eLearning modules designed to support our staff, the research community, Research Ethics Committees (RECs) and Confidentiality Advisory Group (CAG) members.

Our Research Ethics Committee (REC) members are required to undertake training and we support our members with this.

To support and guide researchers through the HRA Approval process we have produced some useful training resources.

As part of our commitment to transparency we publish information on projects that have been approved and decisions that have been made by a REC and applications that have been approved by the CAG.

The information in these research summaries is extracted from the REC application form. Further information about the research can be obtained from the person listed on the details page.

Details of all approved applications are held in a register of approvals which is updated monthly. The register contains summary information about the activity, details of the identifiers approved, and applicant contact details.
