The submission deadlines and meeting dates below are only applicable to new and ongoing projects that are above minimal risk or projects that are subject to full board review.
All applications requiring full board review (e.g. new applications, amendments, annual renewals, deferral responses) must be received in the RISe inbox prior to midnight on the deadline date to be considered for that month’s meeting.
New applications require the Department Head approval to be considered for REB review - please submit at least 3 days prior to the deadline to allow for department head approval.
The initial review fee must also be submitted prior to the submission deadline (see below for information on fees). Applications received after the midnight deadline or without fees will be deferred until the next month's meeting or until payment is received in full.
