Research Scenarios This section demonstrates how legislative and good practice requirements can be implemented by using examples of research projects. These scenarios are based on a few hot topics highlighted through the UKCRC Regulatory & Governance Advice Service and now through the MRC Regulatory Support Centre's remote advice service, and as such are generalised versions of responses to questions. This section of the site is a work in progress, as topics are identified, new scenarios will be developed and shared here.
