Research Ethics Board (REB)
The REB is responsible for ensuring University-wide understanding of, and compliance with, all applicable external and internal requirements. Prior to commencement of research and teaching activities involving the use of human participants, or human biological materials, the REB must review and approve the activities.
All new single jurisdictional protocols requiring ethics review must be submitted through the ROMEO Research Portal. Please refer to the "Process for submitting applications" link below. For existing protocols that were submitted prior to the use of the Romeo Research Portal for ethics review, the REB Renewal and/or Amendment Application (.doc file) posted on the Research Ethics forms web page will support studies to December 31, 2024, and can be submitted by email to reb@unbc.ca.
All studies that are continuing into 2025 are to be active in the ROMEO Research Portal. Please complete the ROMEO New Application Form, noting the old application number that has need of renewal.
