Acknowledgements
This research was conducted with the funding support of the Wellcome
Trust, connected with a five-year Wellcome Senior Investigator Award
entitled `Confronting the Liminal Spaces of Health Research Regulation'
(Award No: WT103360MA). I am grateful to Wellcome for their
generosity and enthusiasm in supporting both my research and the
research of the Liminal Spaces Project team, including its global dis-
semination through open access.
This book would not have been possible without the cooperation and
gracious hospitality of the people whom I interviewed and observed over
the course of a year. I thank each of them for their patience and
forthrightness in sharing their insights and experiences with me.
Undoubtedly, not all of the participants in my research will share the
interpretation I place on my findings. Nonetheless, I trust that they are
defensible and contribute to the debate about what research ethics
committees (RECs) do in practice, and how to improve the regulatory
framework for health research involving human participants.
I owe my gratitude to the authorities and individuals who helped assist
in bringing my empirical investigation to fruition. This includes the
Health Research Authority; Jo-Anne Robertson at the Research Govern-
ance and Quality Assurance Office of the University of Edinburgh; the
staff at the Wellcome Library; the staff at the Archive and Museum
Services of the Royal College of Physicians of London; and the transcrip-
tion team at 1st Class Secretarial Services.
I would also like to acknowledge the excellent support I received from
