Where to submit an ethics review request

All applications for ethics review by the Research Ethics Board en readaptation et en déficience physique (REB RDP) must be submitted on the Santé Québec Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal – Universitaire Nagano platform. This includes requests for:

• Initial ethics review (F11a),
• Modifications (F1),
• Incidents notificaton (F5),
• Annual renewal (F9),
• Closure (F10).

How to submit an ethics review request

• The researcher submits his project according to the deadlines (see current calendar). This list can help you prepare your submission.
• The researcher must indicate all the institutions in the health and social services network he wishes to invite to take part in his project, and all useful information about local populations and conditions likely to have an impact on the assessment of ethical acceptability;
• The researcher attaches the positive result of the scientific review or the steps taken to this end.

IMPORTANT

When the REB RDP acts as the reviewing REB for a multicenter project, or when the research project takes place in any site that is not Santé Québec Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal – Universitaire, the researcher must submit his or her research project via the Santé Québec Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal – Universitaire Nagano platform, first completing the “F0” form.

How to choose the REB that will assess your project

The choice of REB reviewer is made by the researcher requesting the ethics review of his or her research project according to the following criteria:

1. The first criterion to be considered by the researcher is his or her status with one or more HSSR institutions;
2. The researcher will have his or her project assessed by the REB of the institution that granted him or her researcher status, if participants are recruited from the institution;
3. Otherwise, the researcher will have his or her project assessed by the REB of one of the establishments where recruitment will take place;
4. If neither the recruiting institution nor the institution that granted the researcher his/her research status has an REB, the project will be reviewed by the central ethics committee.
