Additional Information
Time to approval in case nutrition is considered as pharmaceutical/drug.
Research Governance Department at the University of Nottingham usually take 7-14days to approve a protocol for studies requiring NRES ethical review (studies involving patients and drug trials).
Research Governance in the NHS (R&D departments in individual hospitals) can take up to 12 weeks to approve a study involving patients / use of hospital (NHS) facilities, but this will depend upon institution and complexity of trial.
If support/resources are sought from national research networks, this can take 6-12wks to be negotiated. However, this approval process usually runs in parallel to the R&D process, so shouldn’t add to the study set-up time.
