Obtaining Permissions

Obtaining Permissions

The DaSH Research Coordinators can provide advice and support with obtaining the required approvals for DaSH projects. A Permissions Pathway guide explaining the approvals process for DaSH projects is also available. In addition, DaSH have some template application forms with pre-populated information about DaSH that can be used by researchers during the permission application process as appropriate.

Please contact the team at dash@abdn.ac.uk to discuss.
