Research Governance and Ethics
It is essential that the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú's national and international research follows all legal and ethical requirements. Research governance and ethics covers processes that support researchers in understanding their wider societal, legal and ethical responsibilities. This covers everything from human clinical trials to animal research. The following pages provide information for researchers, regulators and funders as to how we meet these obligations.
Research using animals
We're making sure science and animal welfare go hand-in-hand. We are clear and open about when, how and why we use animals in research. Find out more.
Research governance
Research governance refers to the broad range of principles, standards and regulations of good practice that are in place to make sure that we continuously improve the quality of all aspects of our research. Find out more here.
External Ethics Services
The ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú offers Ethics Reviews of projects, and teaching and consultancy in research ethics, on a contractual basis.
Export Controls Guidance
Export controls are needed for a variety of reasons, including national security and international treaty obligations. We are committed to complying with UK Export Control law.
