Research ethics
The University of New Brunswick has given the Research Ethics Boards (REBs) on both campuses the responsibility of ensuring compliance with Tri-Council and UNB policies for all research projects at UNB that involve collecting data from humans. At the same time, the REBs strive to ensure that such compliance protects the principles of academic freedom and high scholarship.
Policies and procedures
All research proposals, whether new or renewals, involving human participants must be approved by the REB of the applicable campus. The following links include information, forms, and guidelines in this area:
- Tri-Council (NSERC,CIHR,SSHRC) Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans
- University Policy on Research Involving Humans (To comply with Tri-Council Policy Statement)
