The CMCC templates for Application to Involve Human Participants are listed here. Descriptions follow each document link to help applicants determine which form is needed for their application. Please note that the Original Research, Secondary Use and Informed Consent forms are currently under construction by REB Application Working Group to ensure compliance with TCPS2. Stay tuned for the updated application form, but in the meantime please continue to use this one

• Original Research: This form is CMCC’s standard REB application form, and should be used by default.
• Secondary Use Form: This application form should be used for projects where data were already collected from human participants. Data may have been collected for non-research purposes. The data may have been collected for research purposes, in another REB-approved study.
• Informed Consent: & Informed Guidance Form: The accompanying consent form is designed to meet current regulatory and ethical standards. The REB recommends that study teams use the template whenever possible and customize it (blue text) to be accessible and appropriate for your participant groups.
• Project Report Form: This form must be used for projects within one year of receiving REB approval, unless the investigators file a Project Closure Form, or otherwise specified. Once completed, it should be submitted to the ORA, where the REB Chair will determine whether the project may continue. Successful determinations will result in the issue of an updated Certificate of REB of Approval.
• Project Closure Form: Once data collection is complete, this form must be filled out and submitted to the ORA as notification that the project has moved on to data analysis phase, or has been closed out.
