If your research is multi-site, once you have received the validation letter, you can instruct the PIs at each site to apply for SSI. Each PI should complete Part C of the completed application and submit it to their local R&D Office, along with a copy of his/her CV and applicable study documents.
Each R&D Office will inform the CI/PI whether or not there is any objection to your research on site-specific grounds (within 30 days for NIHR Portfolio adopted studies).
Where a non-NHS site is being utilised, a local ethics committee may be required to review the application in lieu of an R&D Office. Further information can be found on the IRAS website.
