Cut-off dates for submission:  

Under the Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR), timelines are dictated by the Clinical Trial Information System (CTIS), and the National Office cut off dates will no longer apply.

Transition to CTR through the CTIS: 

From 31 January 2023, all new applications must be submitted under the CTR via the CTIS system: https://euclinicaltrials.eu/. 

Further guidance on the process can be found here:

• National Office: Submit under the Clinical Trial Regulation - NREC (nrecoffice.ie)
• HPRA: Clinical Trials (hpra.ie)

Meetings are filled on a first come first served basis. Depending on the volume of applications received ahead of the cut-off date, the Chairperson of the NREC-CTs in consultation with the Programme Manager will limit the number of applications reviewed at any given meeting in order to manage workflow and ensure consistent high-quality ethics review. 

Apply to the NREC-CT.
