Locally, trials and studies need first to be reviewed by the Cambridge BRC/Covid-19 oversight committee before being submitted through the national NIHR prioritisation mechanism.
All COVID-19-related research studies are being prioritised at a national level through the NIHR. Studies seeking approval should first apply through the NIHR gateway, with nationally prioritised research being signposted for an expedited regulatory approval with the HRA/MHRA.
