Research Governance

Forthcoming changes to the College's Research Governance web site. Over the coming months, the contents of the web site will be changing. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you cannot find what you are looking for.

The site will provide you with what research governance is, key documents, regulations and resources available that are relevant to research.

Definition 'Research governance is a process aimed at ensuring that research is high quality, safe and ethical'.

Research Governance is the process by which the University ensures all research active within the organisation complies with all relevant legislation. The University of Leicester and the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust have a Joint Office approach to Research Governance.  However, there are currently no provisions for the Trust and University to take responsibility for the Sponsorship of research as co-sponsors.
