The list of documents required for submission to the ethics committee depends on the project category.

How to submit my project?

Submission to ethics committees is done via the portal BASEC (Business Administration System for Ethics Committees).

Please find below the guides that explain which steps to follow to submit your project via BASEC.

For research projects for which the CHUV is the sponsor, the submission file must first be submitted to the CHUV's research sponsor's office (BPR) to check its conformity. Regarding the involvement of the BPR via BASEC there are two steps to perform :

Step 1: Add the BPR as an additional contact

For this, go to the part 5 « Addresses » of BASEC, section « Other contact information » and add the BPR as a primary contact by entering the following information :

  • Full name : BPR
  • Role in this project : Sponsor

Step 2: Invite the BPR as a contributor

For this, please send the file to the BPR BEFORE clicking on submit. Here are the steps to follow :

  • Click on « Manage invitations » on the left of the screen
  • Click on « Invite a contributor »
  • Enter the contributor's email address :  bpr@chuv.ch
  • Then, select all the steps of the submission file
  • Finally, select « Full access »
