We are pleased to inform you about a significant update regarding submission of Post-approval Activities at Joint CUHK-NTEC CREC.
This change is aimed at streamlining operations and for better management.
Starting 1st May 2025, CREC will launch the CREC Submission Portal (Post-approval Activities).
The link will be released in our website on 1st May 2025.
Here are the key details you need to know:
For Post-approval Activities:
Post-approval activities include Protocol Amendment, Renewal and Progress Report, Protocol Deviation, Correspondence, SAE and SUSAR etc.
Submission Method:
Starting 1st May 2025, all applicants are required to use the new forms, attach all necessary documents, and upload them via the Joint CUHK-NTEC CREC Submission Portal (Post-approval Activities).
Step 1: Download and complete the e-form (PDF)
Step 2: Select the type of submission (Post-approval Submission, Local SAE Submission or SUSAR submission)
Step 3: Fill in the details of the submission (CREC Reference No., Name of PI and Email of PI etc.)
Step 4: Upload all the related document(s)
Step 5: Press the Submit button
Step 6: Principal Investigator (PI) must confirm the submission within 14 days
Submissions can be initiated by either the PI or an authorized delegate.
After a submission is made, a confirmation email will be sent to the PI, who must confirm the submission within 14 days.
If the PI does not confirm within this period, the submission will be considered unsuccessful and will be automatically withdrawn.
For SAE submission: Submissions can be initiated by either the PI or an authorized delegate and confirmed by PI or Co-investigator(s).
To facilitate this transition to the new Submission Portal, we will be publishing new forms for post-approval activities. PI will not be required to sign on individual forms, instead, the email confirmation will be recognized as the valid signature.
Please note that all document uploaded to the CREC Submission Portal (Post-approval Activities) and HA CRER Portal should be in PDF format.
