The 2018-2019 Human Research Ethics Board schedule is now available online for research that is above minimal risk as outlined by the TCPS2.
All research that is minimal risk can be submitted to research.ethics@ufv.ca any time for delegated review. The HREB is a delegation of the President’s Office at UFV, and has the authority to approve, reject, propose modifications to, or terminate all proposed or ongoing research involving humans within the institution’s jurisdiction based on the ethical considerations as set forth in the UFV Human Research Ethics Policy Manual (#54; #53; #51; #142).
As per TCPS2, the following requires ethics review and approval by a HREB before data collection/research commences:
– research involving living human participants;
– research involving human biological materials, as well as human embryos, fetuses, fetal tissue, reproductive materials and stem cells. This applies to materials derived from living and deceased individuals.
