Do I need additional permission if recruiting participants from organizations other than Carleton University?

Yes. Approval from both CUREB and the outside organization (e.g., businesses, hospitals, schools, prisons) are needed. Some organizations require ethics approval from Carleton before giving approval from the organization. As each case is unique, we encourage you to contact the Research Ethics and Compliance Office for guidance on how to proceed.

Note: Your Carleton Ethics clearance is always conditional on securing clearance from the other organization. Conditional approval does not permit researchers to collect data. Final approval will be granted once a copy of that outside approval, scanned and uploaded, as an addendum to a conditionally approved protocol has been processed by the REB. Final ethics clearance must be obtained before any data are collected.
