Once you have completed the full dataset form you will need to upload a number of documents to the system to complete your application i.e. your consent form, CV, participant information sheet, etc.
There is a checklist available to help you decide what is needed. To access this you will need to select the IRAS form from the project forms menu on the left (See the previous screen shot). You can then click on the checklist tab which provides you with lots of information about what documents to attach and how to do it.
This will ensure that all the appropriate documents are sent to the correct approval body with the IRAS form. We would suggest using appropriate file names to identify the content of the document, clear version control and dates for each document.
You will also need to upload the Organisation Information Document and the Schedule of Events/Schedule of Events Cost Attribution Template (oOECAT). These are required to clarify with the NHS trust you are working with needs to do in order to carry out the research i.e. the resource implications.
You will need an Organisation Information Document for each NHS site type i.e. if different ones for Recruiting Sites vs Participant Identification Centre (PIC). The Organisation Information Document sets out exactly what each site will be doing as part of the project as a whole. The Organisation Information Document also can be used as an agreement and covers lots of useful areas.
When completing these forms it is important not to add trust specific details and only generic study information. For more information about study documents including Organisation Information Document and SoECATs and for templates of these forms you can follow this link to the HRA website.
It is a really good idea to contact us so we can assist in completing these forms which will speed up the approvals process.
