UTREC Audit Figures
UTREC has viewed over 450 Ethical Applications for research projects since the committee was set upat the start of 2005.
Some Schools by the nature of their research process more applications than others. UTREC is most grateful for all the work undertaken across the University in connection with scrutiny of ethical issues in teaching and research and acknowledges the very fine work that is done by a number of Schools in this area.
The statistics for approved research applications per academic year are as follows:
