Researcher Accreditation

  • All PASS projects still require researchers to be fully accredited (Please see the SRS website for details and conditions).

  • Researcher accreditation is now handled through the People and Projects Service (PPS).

  • The PPS is part of the Integrated Data Service (IDS) infrastructure and will service new researcher accreditations and accreditation renewals for users of all Trusted Research Environments (TREs). For more information on how to apply for an IDS Hub account and become an accredited researcher, or how to renew your existing accreditation, view the guidance on the IDS website
