Welcome to the National Electronic Research Management System
The National Electronic Research Management System (NERMS) is an online platform for the health and social care research community to facilitate the applications and approvals needed to conduct research in or with the Health Service Executive (HSE).
NERMS provides the following:
- A single system for applying for the permissions and approvals for health and social care research in or with the HSE. This includes permissions and approvals for both research ethics review and for other Research Governance, Management and Support (RGMS) processes.
- A unique study ID, which has been adopted by stakeholders across Ireland as the common study identifier
- An online application form which enables you to enter and store your proposal information and to update study information online in advance of submission
- It ensures that the information collected on the system generates the appropriate permissions and approvals processes relevant to the study type
- It helps the research community to be aware of and meet the regulatory and governance requirements for carrying out health and social care research in or with the HSE
Please help us to improve NERMS by sending your feedback to ResearchAndDevelopment@hse.ie. Your comments and suggestions may be included in the next review of the system.
