\n Office of Research Ethics\n <\/h1>\n \n \n \n\n

The Office of Research Ethics offers administrative support to the Carleton University\u2019s Research Ethics Boards (CUREB), works with researchers to ensure their research projects respect and comply with all applicable policies and guidelines, including those of the Tri-Councils (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC), specifically the Tri-Council Policy Statement on the Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUREB-A<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
CUREB-B<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the REB\u2019s the office manages the protocol life-cycle, including protocol submission, approval and monitoring for the research involving human participants at the university and its affiliates. All research involving humans conducted by faculty, staff or students at Carleton University must be approved by a CUREB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note:<\/strong> Board expertise will also be taken into consideration when protocols are submitted to CUREB-A or CUREB-B for review, see the specific Board page for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CUREB Submission Forms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Revised CUREB Submission Forms are online. We have completed a substantial revision of our submission forms, which are available now on our website in the Forms and Templates<\/a> page, click on Ethics Application Forms<\/a>.\u00a0 Please use these revised forms for all submissions.\u00a0 If you have downloaded copies of any older forms, please do not use them any longer as the new forms have changed and re-focused many of the questions to allow us to better assess the relevant aspects of your study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the new forms, for most questions, we have added a link to Instructions to give some background and additional clarification as to what we are looking for in each section.  We hope you will find this to be helpful, particularly for those using the form for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
