Human Ethics - Application Information
No research involving humans shall be undertaken without the prior approval of the Research Ethics Board.
With the release of the new Tri-council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans, 2010, a new on-line tutorial is being developed by the Inter-Agency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics (PRE). This tutorial will be available in April 2011. The Ryerson Research Ethics Board recommends that all prospective applicants register and take this tutorial to become more familiar with the TCPS2. Registration is required on-line.
All applications for ethics review of research involving humans must be submitted via the Online Ethics Protocol Submission and Review System which can be accessed through your Blackboard account at:
NOTE: Please note that the initial response time is typically five to six weeks from date of original submission.
The application process is through Blackboard which can be accessed using a Ryerson email (Matrix) username and password. Once logged in, you may access the system by selecting the "Online Ethics Submission and Review System" option which can be found in the "Research Ethics" box under the "my.ryerson" tab.
All applicants who do not have a Ryerson email (Matrix) account, can request access by contacting Toni Fletcher, REB Coordinator, at extension 7112 or by email at toni.fletcher@ryerson.ca
The Online Ethics Protocol Submission and Review System is a "form based" web application system. Applicants are advised to read the protocol application guidelines below and need not complete the application at one time. The application may be saved and completed at a later time. Please note that there are stated character limits for many fields. Documents may be attached to the system so if responses exceed the stated character limits, refer to the document names of the attached files. Text may be copied and pasted into the application forms from other existing documents.
Please note that for all Graduate student applicants, the Board requires that protocols are first reviewed and approved by their Faculty Supervisors in all graduate programs.
If you have any questions about the system, please contact Toni Fletcher, REB Coordinator, at extension 7112 or by email at toni.fletcher@ryerson.ca
