Reporting, Renewing and Closing
Yes, you must submit an Annual Status Report request to close your study. This form must also be submitted once the study is complete. (You do not need to wait until your ethics clearance expires.) Please see the Forms and Templates page.
Every study that is approved by CUREB-A or CUREB-B receives an ethics clearance certificate that includes a set time period during which the study may be conducted. Before the expiry date, researchers must submit an Annual Status Report request to either renew their project or close it. Failure to do so will halt your project and affect your research funding.
