Research Management and Governance

HR Good Practice Resource Pack/ Research Passport

Virtually all the Trusts within the Birmingham and the Black Country CLRN have now agreed to implement HR Good Practice Resource Pack/ Research Passport V2, but if any researchers, Trusts, Networks or HEI are having any concerns about local implementation then please contact the CLRN Lead RM&G Manager Karen Hampshire (karen.hampshire@uhb.nhs.uk).

Majority of the Trusts within the CLRN has also agreed a standard data set that is required from external HEI’s researchers who already have a validated Research Passport. The researcher would need to provide

• A copy of the validated Research Passport
• A copy of the appropriate CRB
• A copy of the Occupational health Clearance 
• An up to date CV that is dated and signed and,
• Photographic ID that should be shown to the relevant contact at the Trust (the R&D Dept/ the Local Research Manager/ local Clinical lead) to prove the external researcher are who they say they are.
