• Lead Researchers and all research personnel listed on the relevant submission form must complete the TCPS2 web-based tutorial by the Tri-Council Panel on Research Ethics and submit their certificate of completion. Certificates must be less than five years old.
• An accessible, alternative‑text version (Word document) of the CORE‑2022 modules is available upon request from the Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research. Please note that this alternative format includes the instructional content for the nine modules only. To receive the Certificate of Completion, users must successfully complete the Knowledge Consolidation Exercise (KCE) within the CORE‑2022 web platform.

Different types of studies require different forms to be submitted to the REB. For information about which form is the right one for your study, see the instructions.

• Always include a completed Application Checklist prior to submitting a protocol to either REB.  This will help guide you as to what ancillary documents need to be submitted along with your Form. In general, the REB meets to review the final form of any document that is to be seen by any participant or prospective participant.
• Complete the appropriate form and required attachments, and begin a new application in cuResearch. New users should complete the online form: Create a cuResearch Account.   Go to the section Submit an Application below for information about the process of submitting a proposed study to cuResearch.
• All students, including undergrads, graduate students and Post-Docs require a Faculty supervisor, and must submit a signed Supervisor Signature Form. Email approval from a supervisor for a student’s project is not accepted. Research projects may be submitted either by the student (so long as the student is registered in the system) or the faculty supervisor. 
• For more instructions and samples of forms and document templates, visit Forms and Templates.
• If you are unsure what form and ancillary documents you need to submit for your study, contact us at ethics@carleton.ca.
  

• Carleton Researchers: All research involving human participants, as described in the TCPS, conducted by members of the Carleton community must be cleared by the appropriate REB. This includes research conducted at Carleton, research conducted off campus (e.g., businesses, hospitals, prisons, schools), and research approved by another academic institution. For more detailed information, including exemptions from review, see what research needs REB review and the CUREB Scope of Authority Policy.
• External Researchers Conducting Studies at Carleton: All externally approved research that is taking place on the Carleton campus or specifically targeting Carleton University staff and/or students as participants must have approval by CUREB. However, external studies from an outside institution, with no other Carleton involvement, that have REB approval at their own institution, which do not involve using students as research participants, and that do not request, from any Carleton office, access to non-public contact information, do not need review.

If you are unsure whether your project needs REB review, contact us at ethics@carleton.ca.

There is an internal and external submission process. Carleton researchers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with both.

Horizon Europe proposals consist of two parts:

• Part A: Administrative forms that include general information on participants, budget, ethics, security and gender equality.
• Part B: Technical and research descriptions of the project. This includes objectives, methodology, impact assessment, dissemination plans and budget justification.

All Horizon Europe projects require collaboration between a minimum of three organizations from different countries:

• Carleton (Canada) counts as the first.
• The other two must be from the EU or an associated country.
• At least one organization must be from an EU Member State.

Visit the EU Funding & Tenders Portal to search for calls. Use the following filters:

• Programming period: 2021-2027
• Programme: Horizon Europe
• Programme part: Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness

You can also view the cluster-specific calls directly from our website.

All participants must create an EU Login account to access the Horizon Europe portal. When registering, use Carleton’s Participant Identification Code (PIC number) to link your application to the university: 999879978.

If you are trying to add a team member or a sponsor agency/program and you don’t see the option, likely, they have not been added to the system yet. Reach out to curesearch@carleton.ca to request that they be added.
