Applications and Forms

Please note that all new study submissions require a fulsome protocol. 

Please note that the Ontario Shores REB no longer requires hard copy submissions. Given policy constraints regarding electronic signatures, instead of e-signing forms, please do one of the following: 

1. Scan signed hard-copy forms with signatures and email them to REBsubmissions@ontarioshores.ca.

2. Attach emails from individuals whose signatures are requested on application forms. These emails should state that the email serves as an indication of approval of the specific forms their approval is required on (please list these in the email). The email should also contain a statement that indicates that the email serves in lieu of a hard-copy signature. 

3. Deliver a hard-copy of the submission with required signatures to the REB Office (Building 7, Level 2, 7-2029).
