Application Process

Application Process

All applications for access to data and data linkage activity are required to complete an application form. Initial applications capture an outline of requirements and the Lothian Research Safe Haven (LRSH) team will work with researchers to understand what is available and how it could be access. A full application sets out the specification for the requirements and the work required and will be reviewed by the local LRSH Project Review and Advisory Committee to ensure appropriate use of the data including whether it is suitably justified and within public interest. 

The Research Ethics Committee has granted generic Research Database approval to LRSH to process data for a range of health-related research that has been approved by this Committee.
