About the Research Ethics Board (REB)

NRC's Research Ethics Board, and its support staff are central to NRC's human subject ethics functions.

Reporting to the Senior Executive Committee through the Secretary General, NRC's REB reviews applications for human subjects ethics approval, oversees and advises on the ethical aspects of all research involving human subjects in which NRC participates, and provides a resource for education, guidance and leadership in the application of ethical principles in the conduct of research involving human subjects.

As of 15 June 2007, there is only one NRC-REB.
