Frequently Asked Questions

Forms

How do I find what the current version of Ethics RM is?
The current version number of Ethics RM is displayed at the bottom of the page.
How can I tell what Ethics RM form version the researcher used?
In the application, select the action ‘View’. In the grey bar (near top of page), the version number is displayed.

Applications

An ethics application was submitted to my organisation but it is not appropriate for us to review. What should I do?
Contact the researcher/applicant and ask them to ‘Recall’ the application in Ethics RM. They can then choose a different organisation for submission. DO NOT ‘Query’ or ‘Withdraw’ the application; this would link the project to your organisation’s Ethics RM account and the researcher would need to start a new application.
