Our research governance processes

Our University research governance processes provide a framework for high quality, rigorous research.

  • At Liverpool, we are committed to the principles of the 3Rs – the reduction, refinement and replacement of animal models. We aim to minimise the number of animals used in research and that procedures and standards of care are refined to maximise welfare.

  • The University's policies and governance information on the use of human material in research are managed by the Clinical Directorate.

  • The University's Policy on misconduct in research outlines the principles and process for evaluating potential research misconduct.

  • All research projects within the University which involve human participants or human material, or personal data should receive research ethics approval before they can begin.
