Join us to learn about two tools available for University of Manchester staff & students to assist their research projects.

Research Risk Profiler –  Originally launched in February 2022 as part of the Research Lifecycle’s Project A, the Research Risk Profiler (RRP) is a simple tool that helps researchers to navigate a large range of potentially complex risk and compliance topics when planning a new project to ensure that it can proceed safely and securely.

The RRP is a questionnaire that takes about 15 minutes to complete. Profiled risk areas include Trusted Research themes such as partner assessment, Export Controls, and Intellectual Property (IP). Completing the questionnaire will help to connect researchers with specialist Professional Services (PS) colleagues and teams who can support them in navigating risk and compliance processes. This approach ensures that researchers are offered solutions that are appropriate to their project, rather than a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.

Ethical Review Manager (ERM): Online system for University ethical approval – The University uses an online ethics review software system (ERM) to manage the ethical review of research projects that involve human participants and their data. ERM is available to both members of staff and students at the University of Manchester and helps users to submit and track their applications submitted to the University Research Ethics Committee (UREC) and local Division/School ethics panels.

Following an extensive University wide consultation with users, the ERM system has now been re-designed to improve readability, functionality and access to help and guidance information. Modified versions of the application form are now available for bespoke types of projects, including collaborations with other organisations/institutions and projects limited to the use of social media data. Overall appearance, wording and other formatting details have also been modified to improve the experience for a wide range of users.

Why Attend?

• Discover how the RRP can proactively identify risks in your research journey.
• Learn about the updates and new features to the ERM system.
• Demonstrations of both tools with a Q&A session.
