We are excited to say that there no longer is a need to use the Microsoft Word REB Application form for initial submissions. EthOS has the full range of functionality for all your REB application needs and scenarios.
We have been advising researchers since early July 2024 that the old REB Application form would be retired at the time of data migration. Accordingly, submissions using the Microsoft Word REB Application is no longer accepted beginning September 23.
Note: If you will be adding or revising a pre-EthOS supplement (e.g., SONA supplement, Cross-cultural supplement, etc.), these legacy forms are still available on our website.
If you were/are part-way through an application in MS Word, you will need to re-enter that information in EthOS. This process is not as easy as cutting and pasting as it is not a 1:1 match due to the dynamic nature of the online form. If you’d like to discuss your application scenario, please get in touch with the reb@uoguelph.ca.
