Data entered in the Eurocrine database may be used for clinical research purposes, within the aim and scope of the registry after obtaining approval from the appropriate ethical review board, and subject to this approval.

Additionally, for prospective observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) patients should receive written and oral information about the study and provide explicit consent, written or electronically.

Conditions
The research group must belong to a clinic or department that is a member of the Eurocrine Society. The only exception to this is an author with specific knowledge or competence which is clearly lacking in the research group. This author must be employed by the institution to which the member clinic or department belongs (i.e., University or University Hospital).
Additionally the principal investigator must be a member of a Eurocrine associated society (i.e., a national society or ESES, please see here a complete list of societies).

The guidelines and application form can be accessed on the Documents for members page (access only to the Dr in Charge).

The deadline for research application is twice a year:

• March 15th

• November 15th

The application is evaluated by the Eurocrine and ESES combined Research Committee which recommends a decision to the Eurocrine Council. A formal decision is made by the Eurocrine Council.
