Secondary Use of Data Form

If your research relies exclusively on secondary use of anonymous information or biological samples then REB review is not required unless the data or samples might reasonably be re-identified. Information or samples are “anonymous” if they never had identifiers associated with them (for example an anonymous survey) and the risk of identification of individuals is low or very low.

Please submit this form in cuResearch as a new application (with a maximum of two documents):

• the Secondary Use Form
• any supporting appendices

If this application will replace a Release of Funds, please submit it as an “Event” in cuResearch under the same study file.
