Ethical and Regulatory Approval

The Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) is a single system to apply for the permissions and approvals for health and social care / community care research in the UK.

The Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) enables you to enter the information about your project once instead of duplicating information in different forms and helps you to meet regulatory and governance requirements.  Detailed information is available from the Academic and Clinical Central Office for Research and Development (ACCORD) website.
