In the primary submission of a study for review under the WMO it is mandatory to provide a signed Template Cover Letter on paper. Reason for this is that these are applications in the sense of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb) and for a legally valid application a so-called 'wet' signature on paper is required.

Please use the correct cover/response letter template.Scan the signed cover letter as a PDF. Follow the instructions above for the correct file names (PDF and coding file name). The files are then submitted via the Research Portal.

Other submissions
Other submissions, like SAEs, amendments and progress reports are submitted via the Research Portal. Follow the instructions as mentioned on the website of the CCMO 

Timeline
The time within which the MREC must make a decision on your application is recorded in the Research Portal. You can also use the Research Portal to follow the remaining time of the decision period.
To ensure that the review process runs as smoothly as possible, the investigator has one month in which to respond to the committee's questions and comments. If it is not possible to have the response ready within this month, you can ask for an extension by e-mail. Please state the reason for the delay.
If you have any questions about the procedure or the timelines please contact the secretariat of MREC
