Please be aware there is no scheduled UREC meeting in August 2023. Therefore, the last UREC submission date for this Academic year will be the 16th of June 2023. The next submission deadline will be the 25th of August 2023 for the September meeting, and the outcomes for the applications received will be sent out in mid-September 2023. If this does present an issue with the timeline of a particular project, please contact UREC to discuss the possibility of an ad hoc review.
