2. What Forms Should Be Submitted

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.
