After almost 9 months of rigorous study designing and constant redrafts of ethics applications, we are delighted to announce that ethical approval has now been provided for the CIMPRES-COPD project (see www.lincolncopdresearch.com/CIMPRES-COPD for more info). This project was the first University project to go through the brand new HRA ethics application system.
Recruitment has now commenced for this project with a positive intake from the first Pulmonary Rehabilitation cohort. Recruitment will continue for the next 18-24months with data generated being used to create a thesis for PhD submission by October 2018. We’re excited for the results to be generated for this study and prepared for any challenges that might arise from such a research study.
If you would like to find out any more information about this particular project, please do not hesitate to contact Alex Jenkins (aljenkins@lincoln.ac.uk).
