To reduce the burden on the Research Ethics Committee (REC), one member of the group should submit an ethics application for review and once a favourable opinion has been secured, all members of the group should submit an identical application. All members of the group should receive a favourable opinion before beginning the research. Please preface the title with “GROUP PROJECT” and include a list of all group members in the project description.
