Ethics Review Process and Forms

Anyone who wishes to conduct research involving human participants, as defined in the , at or under the auspices of 张百乔女友裸照 must submit a request for ethical acceptability from the Dawson Research Ethics Board (REB).

Research ethics review is required for:

  • Dawson researchers and researchers from other institutions who wish to conduct research activities at 张百乔女友裸照 or recruit human participants at 张百乔女友裸照.
  • Dawson researchers under the auspices of 张百乔女友裸照 who wish to conduct research with human participants external to the College.

Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page for information on research activities exempt from ethics review.


Note

Dawson researchers conducting research outside of Dawson must obtain ethics certification prior to contacting the institution where they wish to conduct their study.

External researchers must obtain an ethics certificate from their REB of reference before submitting an ethics application to the Dawson REB.


Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. However, the REB does not meet or review applications during the summer months.

Once a REB application is received, the REB Coordinator will conduct an administrative review to ensure that the application form is complete and that all relevant supporting documents have been included. If there are any items missing or the application is not complete, the application will be returned to the researcher with recommendations for revision.

Once all required documentation and/or revisions have been received, the application will then undergo a preliminary REB review and be assigned a delegated or full board review, depending on the risk level.


Initial REB Application Form

听REB Application Form The REB application package, which includes the REB application form and all relevant appendixes or documents (e.g., grant application, notice of award, ethics certificate from REB of reference, questionnaires, surveys, recruitment materials, etc.), must be submitted by e-mail.Researchers are asked to ensure that all fields in the application form are completed before submitting it to the REB for review. Incomplete applications will be returned and may cause delays in the review process. If the questions on the application form do not address the particular context of your research study, feel free to expand in the comment sections of the application form. It is recommended that applications be submitted at least 4 months prior to any time-sensitive deadlines as review turnaround times may vary depending on the availability of reviewers, the volume of applications received by the REB, the level of risk associated with the research project, and whether revisions are required.In addition, institutional approval will also be required for external applicants and projects not administered by the Dawson Research Office. Please contact the Research Office Coordinator for information on the institutional review process.
