I already have ethics approval from my home institution, do I need approval from Carleton University?

Yes. It is the policy of Carleton University that all research taking place on campus or involving our staff or students must have approval by the REB. In these cases, you would apply for an administrative review. In order to apply, you must submit all the documents you already submitted to your home institution: application form, appendices, any email correspondence with the institution, and your clearance from the external REB.

Visit the External REB Review section on our Forms and Templates page for more information. You can also email ethics@carleton.ca if you have questions.
