To ensure all correspondence related to the project is saved in the one location, EEOs with access to the project workspace can upload documentation related to the ethics review e.g. email, in the 'Documents' section of the Files & Documents tab. If there is a hard copy file associated with the project, its location can also be recorded in the 'Files' section of the Files & Documents tab.
Note: EEOs also have the ability to attach documents in the Forms & Documents tab if they wanted to upload a document for the Project Members. Refer to
