Welcome to the CHSS Data Centre's website! This section is intended to provide information for research coordinators and principal investigators (PIs) at all institutions participating in CHSS research studies. This section contains all the documents you will need to complete your Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Research Ethics Board (REB) submissions. Training materials will be added at a later date.
