As of December 2025, a pilot alternative REC review pathway for non-complex studies has been established. These applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Suitable applications include, anonymous cross-sectional surveys, stakeholder or qualitative studies involving professionals and single-site retrospective chart reviews. Further information can be found here. The committee reserves the right to reassign unsuitable applications for review through the traditional pathway at the next available meeting.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure the online submission is complete i.e contains all relevant documents and is received by the REC administrator, who will be notified of all online submissions, by the advertised closing date. Please see the Irish College of GPs Local Committee Checklist below (under 'Application Documents') to ensure you have completed and submitted all required documents.
