Research with Human Participants
The University requires that all research conducted by its members conforms to the highest ethical standards. These standards are defined by the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans. As Per TCPS 2 (2022) research involving the following requires ethics review and approval by a Research Ethics Board (REB) before the research commences: living human participants; human biological materials, as well as human embryos, fetuses, fetal tissue, reproductive materials and stem cells. This applies to materials derived from living and deceased individuals; secondary use of data, health information, or biological materials.
