New departmental-level research ethics review process for undergraduate and graduate class-based projects
Do you teach an undergraduate or graduate course that provides undergraduate or graduate students with training on how to conduct research?
Have you been reluctant to offer hands-on training to students because of the logistical issues involved with submitting applications for research ethics review of course-based projects to the Behavioural Research Ethic Board (BREB)?
If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions then we encourage you to attend an Information Session regarding the new system.
