Research Ethics Board

Detailed Information about Department Level Review for Course-related Research
Ethics review of research that is carried out by undergraduate students as part of their course work is delegated to the department concerned provided the research does not pose more than minimal risk to participants. The Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS) defines minimal risk as experiences where the probability of risk is no greater than that encountered in everyday life. This form should be filled out by the course instructor and forwarded to the Department Head or delegate.

Departmentmental Review Form

In the following cases, however, a Form 1 should be completed and sent to the REB for review:

  • Research posing greater than minimal risk
  • Undergraduate Thesis Projects
  • Research where data will potentially be submitted for publication or presentation outside of a classroom setting.

    If you have any questions about whether these conditions apply to a particular project, contact the Chair of the REB
