Please meet our Advisory Board whose main responsibilities are to:-
- provide advice, through its Chair, to the study’s funder, sponsor, Chief Investigator, host institution, and contractor.
- concentrate on the study’s progress, adherence to the protocol, and participant safety and to consider new information of relevance to the research question.
- uphold the rights, safety and well-being of the participants: these are the most important considerations and should prevail over the interests of the research.
- ensure appropriate ethical and other approvals are obtained in line with the project plan, to agree proposals for substantial protocol amendments and provide advice to the sponsor and funder regarding approvals of such amendments.
- provide advice to the investigators on all aspects of the study.
The Advisory Board meet six times over the course of the project’s lifetime and is chaired by Pat Branigan, Director, CSA Insight.
