Modification

An application to modify a currently approved project can be considered by the GMSC provided that the changes involve:

  • Extension to project duration
  • Change in research personnel
  • Change in project facility/laboratory
  • Minor changes in procedures
  • Change in host/vector system

A sub-committee of the GMSC reviews the application and may issue provisional approval, request further information (clarification) or request that a new application be lodged if it deems the changes proposed are significant.

Researchers planning to modify a currently approved project need to complete an application form and submit it to the GMSC for consideration.
