Additional Important Information
  • If you wish to submit an amendment to your approved research proposal or bank protocol, please contact the official secretary via e-mail. Please do not submit amendments for studies not previously approved by the CTc.
  • The applicant needs an UMCG account (e.g. have an UMCG email address) to start the submission procedure.
  • Note that only the applicant has access to the study files and receives (email) messages from the official secretary. This is: the person who logs in and completes the application form. However, the final decision of the CTc will also be send to the Principal Investigator (cc) as recorded in the application form.
  • Names, e-mail adresses of other persons mentioned in the form will not be used for correspondence unless the applicant no longer works at the UMCG.
  • After submission, you should receive an acknowledgement of receipt. If you do not receive this within 1 hour, please contact the official secretary. You will not receive confirmation when submitting a rebuttal.
  • Tip: Obtaining informed consent is the guiding principle. However, if you are unsure whether informed consent is required or whether a waiver might be applicable, please follow the flowchart SOP Obtaining Informed Consent nWMO (in Dutch).
  • For bio-/databanks, a DPIA is mandatory; perform it prior to submitting a bio-/databank protocol to the CTc. You can find information on how to perform a DPIA here: Knowledge base item - How do I perform a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)? Be aware that if you amend an approved protocol, it might be necessary to redo the DPIA depending on the type and magnitude of your amendment.
