¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH approval times fall

21 September 2012

The average approval time for ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH hosted studies has fallen significantly over the last year.

Median approval time for hosted studies at ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºH was 24 calendar days in July 2012. This is a significant fall from previous months. In August 2011 the median was 68 calendar days.

This fall in approval times is the result of work by the JRO Research Management & Governance, Contracts and Finance teams to streamline systems and monitor timelines.

Work to reduce the overall times of externally-sponsored and commercial studies continues. Areas being worked on include: service level agreements with service departments for costings, early review of studies and actioning of governance, contractual and financial components which may impact upon approval times.
