When can research begin?
Projects may not start until human ethics approval has been obtained.
If the project can be approved by the HEAG, the HEAG will send a letter to the researcher advising them that research may commence.
If the application needs to be reviewed by the HESC, the HEAG will inform the researcher that the HEAG has endorsed the application but research may not commence until the researcher receives an official letter of approval from the HESC.
