Amendments to your Research Passport
Amendments to the Research Passport usually take the form of the following:
- Additional research projects.
- Changes to research activity on the original project(s).
- Personal details (including changes to DBS or OH status).
Researchers who change substantive employer cannot use the amendment process, even if they are working on the same research project. In such cases a new Research Passport application must be made (exceptions may be made in relation to TUPE transfers into the University), but this should be discussed with your relevant HR School Team.
Please send the documents listed below directly to the relevant Trust. Please contact your Trust directly if you have any queries relating to an amendment to your Research Passport:
- Copy of your original Research passport application form with any amendments annotated on the appendix page. Please state the NHS REC number(s) if known.
And where applicable:
- If your line manager changes and research project changes, please ask your new line manager to also complete Section 4 of a new RP application form.
The Trust reserves the right to ask for additional pre-engagement checks where this is deemed to be appropriate. Where amendments are approved, the appendix page will be signed by the Trust's HR Manager and returned to you. The standard ‘acceptance of amendment letter’ will be sent to you, along with copies sent to your line manager, HR School Team and nominated NHS Manager. A new LoA/Honorary Research Contract will not be issued.
Where amendments are not approved, you will need to submit a new RP application.
