HRA UPDATE: New pilot launched to get feedback on Information Governance Guide
Date: 17 March 2026
The HRA have launched a pilot to gather feedback on a new Information Governance (IG) Guide, which aims to reduce uncertainty and duplication to support study set up.
The guide, which has been designed to support sponsors and NHS and HSC organisations involved in research, clarifies how IG is reviewed centrally for study wide review when research studies are submitted for HRA Approval and what local IG checks research sites still may need to do.
It is part of the HRA’s ongoing work as part of the UK Clinical Research Delivery (UKCRD) programme, a cross-sector programme of work aimed at creating a faster, more efficient, more accessible and more innovative clinical research delivery system.
