Schedules and Deadlines

The REBs have pre-scheduled meetings each month to review protocols that are deemed greater than minimal risk.

For studies deemed greater than minimal risk, ethics protocols must be received by 1:00 p.m. on the initial deadline date listed below. The 1:00 p.m. deadline is firm. Any submissions received by the Office after this deadline will be considered for the following Full Board meeting.

It is the PI's/Student PI's responsibility to:

• ensure adequate time to prepare the ethics protocol,
• obtain all necessary sign offs required by RAS (Co-PIs/Advisors), and
• ensure the ethics protocol is received prior to the 1:00 p.m. deadline. 

Please note, protocols must be received by the Office by the initial deadline date in order to be considered for the upcoming REB meeting. The Human Research Ethics Office will conduct an administrative pre-review and send an email with the due date to re-submit. Protocols must then be received by the Office by 1:00 p.m. on the re-submission deadline.  REB review may be deferred to the next Full Board Meeting if the protocol is incomplete or requires substantial revisions as part of the administrative pre-review.
