Carleton University Research Ethics Board-A
The Carleton University Research Ethics Board-A (CUREB-A) is comprised of members from representative departments and meets the minimum requirements of Research Ethics Board membership by the Tri-Council Policy Statement. The Office of Research Ethics and Security’s Human Ethics Coordinators support the CUREBs by providing administrative services along with key resources and supports for researchers.
CUREB-A reviews all applications for Human Research where the lead Carleton University researcher is in the:
- Faculty of Public Affairs
- Sprott School of Business
- Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, exclusive of the Department of Psychology and the Institute of Cognitive Science
CUREB-A holds monthly meetings virtually to review full board protocols, amendments and annual reviews.
New Submissions
We respond to new submissions in 2-5 business days, however October to March the response time may lengthen.
Protocols will be reviewed based on the level of risk:
- Applications deemed to be minimal risk will be sent for delegated review as they are received.
- Applications deemed greater than minimal risk will require full board review and will be reviewed at the next scheduled meeting.
