Last updated: Monday, 26 October 2026
Ethics RM, the system that replaced Sussex Direct for Faculty Research Ethics Committee (F-REC) applications, has now been live for just over a year.
Now, the team who launched the system are introducing a new process.
University sponsorship
From Monday 26 October, researchers applying for University Sponsorship will also be required to submit applications through the Ethics RM system. This will make it easier for researchers to work together on applications, improve auditability, improve regulatory compliance, and reduce the administrative burden for both staff and researchers.
Further information and support
To support the introduction, ‘How-to’ guides will be available on our central REIG website.
