TIER Research Funding Process

Multiple Sites and REB

In an effort to streamline the ethical review of multi-site clinical research, there are alternative approaches to obtaining ethical approval. Using an REB/IRB of Record allows a single qualified REB to provide ethical review and oversight for multiple participating sites.
 
A Research Ethics Board of Record, also known as an REB of Record or Board of Record, provides research ethics review and oversight for a study with multiple participating sites. This means, only one Research Ethics Board (REB) reviews and approves the ethics of a study for more than one site.
