Clinical Research

Clinical Research Governance Team

The University’s Clinical Research Governance Team are here to support with and oversee all health and social care research activity falling under the remit of the UK Policy Framework for Health and Social Care Research, or research with a legal or policy requirement for a formal sponsor. That said, it is essential we are made aware of all potential clinical research activity, so we can provide input as early as possible in study development. Please contact us for general guidance and advice.

We also support the Health and Social Care Research Sponsorship committee, chaired by Prof Jo Rycroft-Malone to co-ordinate the University's sponsorship function; and work closely with the Lancaster University Sponsor Representative and the Head of Research Quality and Policy-Becky Gordon. Please note we do not currently sponsor CTIMPs.
