1. All proposals need to be submitted to the UK HIV Drug Resistance Database
Steering Committee for approval. Proposals utilising variables from the UK CHIC
study need additional approval from the UK CHIC Steering Committee. We will
endeavour to provide requested data within 8 weeks of the submission of the
application.
2. Each Lead Investigator is normally allowed to have only one “active” proposal at any
one time.
3. A principle of the Collaboration is to encourage the involvement of investigators from
other centres with expertise in the question of interest.
4. Researchers whose proposals are approved are required to follow the agreed
Principles of Collaboration in terms of authorship, data security, etc.
