This article previously said that the ESRA form would be available in DUO on 5 October, but the date of the introduction has due to unforeseen circumstances been pushed slightly to a later date. We will publish the correct date here as soon as we have more information.

What you need to know
- If you have submitted an ESRA form already through the DOMNI portal, don’t worry, your information has been transferred to the new system.
- The move to DUO means fewer systems to navigate and a more seamless user journey.
- It is only the Leading Investigator on-site (experiment responsible), that needs to submit the ESRA form.
We hope this change will make the submission of the ESRA form simpler and more convenient.
