SUBMIT YOUR RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Senior Members are allowed to submit research proposals for studies to be conducted with data from the RAMIE Registry. The template for study proposals can be downloaded here. Research proposals should be addressed to research@ugira.org.
Please note: the review process is meant to ensure high quality of research proposals and to only improve its methodology. We very much welcome every research proposal (submitted by Senior Members)! The review process in short: after feedback from 2 reviewers of the Scientific Committee, applicants have the opportunity to write a rebuttal. The proposal will then be discussed within the Scientific Committee. Applicants may be invited to substantiate their proposal by an oral interview.
The full procedures concerning data requests, including data ownership and the review process, are shown below and can be downloaded here.
