Forms and Guidelines

All initial REB applications should be submitted using the eREB system. Review the list of required documents that should be included with an initial REB application submission. Once your study has been approved through the eREB, you can then submit amendments, reportable events, annual renewals, and study closure forms through the system as well.

For studies requiring full board review, the complete application package must be submitted at least two weeks prior to a REB meeting date.
