• If you plan to use humans or animals in any way, review the Guidelines for Use of Human Subjects and Animals and Policy 20.  You must file an Ethics and Due Care Form 2A before you start your project.  This will now be done online and you will be able to fill out the form(s) you need for your particular project when your Coordinator gives you access
  • If you plan to use human subjects then you must determine the risk associated with your project. Projects falling into the ‘significant risk’ category must complete Participation of Humans – Significant Risk Approval Form 2B. The CYSF Ethics and Due Care Committee makes the final determination of risk. Follow the instructions on the form to send it.
  • If you plan to use human subjects in your project then each subject must read and sign the Informed Consent Form 2C before participating. Keep the hardcopy of these forms in your logbook.
  • Once you have received approval from the Ethics and Due Care Committee you may proceed with your project.  Copies of your forms will be sent to your Coordinator, your parent(s) and your scientific mentor (if any).
