Reporting and Request Forms 

Please allow at least two weeks for the processing of all requests.

Please note: For all research, you are required to submit all modifications and other reporting via the Cayuse platform.

Modifications (previously Amendments) 

For all modifications, please submit your request, along with the revised documents, via the Cayuse platform. A modification to add study personnel is only required if:

• Change of Principal Investigator
• Addition or removal of a co-investigator
• Study staff who require access to the Cayuse platform

Study Renewals

Studies receive REB approval for one year only and must be renewed every 12 months to ensure continued ethical approval. It is the responsibility of the researcher to ensure the study is renewed in a timely manner. If the study is not renewed, the REB may close the study, and a new application must be submitted if the study is to be continued.

Please submit all renewals via the Cayuse platform.

Study Closures

Studies may be closed if the following conditions are met:

• Data collection is complete, and you are certain no more data collection will occur.
• All participant contact has ended (this includes follow-up visits/close-out correspondence with participants, etc.).
• Study sponsor has issued a study closure (for clinical trials).
• Data analysis is complete.
• Manuscript has been accepted or published by a journal (this is strongly encouraged, but not necessary for study closure).

All Other Reporting

All other reporting must be submitted via the Cayuse platform. This includes serious adverse events/adverse events, protocol deviations, and incidental findings.

If you are unsure about the requirements for your modification or other reporting, please contact the REB office for guidance: REB@bruyere.org
