Health projects must then seek approval from REC - Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics. For details on which projects need approval and procedures for application visit the REC-portal. It is possible to submit the project for a quick pre-evaluation if you are uncertain.
- State PSI as responsible institution in the application.
- Upload a copy of the full REC-application and letter of approval in ForskPro.
- Follow the guidelines set in the 'Qualtity assurance system for health and medical research'
