The Research Passport – information for researchers

 

The Research Passport is the new method of application for researchers who require either an Honorary Research Contract or Letter of Access (non-NHS) to conduct research activities in the Trust.

 

 

What is the Research Passport?

 

The Research Passport is an application form that provides information about the researcher and his/her proposed research activities for the NHS Trust that will host the research. The form is completed by the researcher and his/her substantive employer who has responsibility for confirming that pre-engagement checks have been completed.

 

 

Who does not need a Research Passport?

 

You will not need a Research Passport (or an honorary research contract) if:

 

            • you are employed by an NHS organisation; or

            • you are an independent contractor (e.g. GP) or employed by an independent contractor; or

            • you have an honorary clinical contract with the NHS (e.g. clinical academics); or

            • you are a student who will be supervised within clinical settings by an NHS employee or HE staff member with an honorary clinical or research contract.
