Behavioural Research Ethics Forms

The Application for Behavioural Research Ethics Review is used for the review of all ethics applications involving human subjects that include social, behavioural, and cultural research using methods such as interviews; surveys; questionnaires; observations; psychological, social, or behavioural interventions; or audio and/or video recording.

Biomedical Research Ethics Forms

The Application for Biomedical Ethics Review is used for review of all ethics applications involving human subjects that include medically invasive procedures; physical interventions and therapies (including exercise and diet interventions); administration and testing of drugs, natural products, or devices; or physiological imaging and measures (e.g., MRI or CT scans, heart rate, blood pressure).

The Application for Secondary use of Data is used for a project that is based solely on the use of existing data (no other research method is being used).
