Application Forms
| Original Research |
CMCC’s standard REB application form that should be used for almost any project. |
| Secondary Use |
This form is to be used for projects where data were already collected from human participants. The data may have been collected for research purposes, in another REB-approved study. Data may have also been collected for non-research purposes. |
| Retrospective Case Report |
Use this form for case reports that use existing data. |
Access Forms
| Clinics |
This form is required for studies that intend to use CMCC Clinic facilities, access patient data, or recruit patients from any of CMCC’s clinics. |
| Students |
This form is required for studies that intend on accessing student data, directly recruiting students, or needing to collect data from students during class time. |
| Employees |
This form is required for studies that intend on accessing employee data, directly recruiting employees, or needing to collect data from employees during working hours. |
Project Reporting and Amendment Forms
| Amendment |
This form should be completed and submitted if investigators are planning to change any aspect of an ongoing research project that has already received REB approval. |
| Reporting |
This form must be filed within one year after a project received REB approval, unless the investigators file a Project Closure Form. 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. |
| Closure |
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. |
