Revised HRS Checklist/Account Request Form

Health Research Services has revised the HRS Checklist/Account Request Form and request that investigators download and use the new form from our website for any new grant applications or account requests:
http://www.fhs.mcmaster.ca/healthresearch/administration_forms.html.

Most revisions are for clarification only, but please note the following:

1. Scanned versions of the completed and signed HRS Checklist will be accepted in place of originals. However, the grantee/investigator must retain the original signed HRS Checklist on file for audit purposes.
   
2. Special Instructions – at the bottom of the first page, you may enter any additional instructions for us, perhaps indicating another contact name for pickup of a signed grant application or someone we can call should we have further questions about the paperwork.
   
3. Conflict of Interest – this section is new and responds to the requirements of the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research and U.S. Public Health Services regulations with respect to disclosure of conflicts of interest by those involved directly or indirectly in the research.
   
   Please note that after November 1st, 2012, HRS checklists completed using the old form will be returned.
