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 CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal Nagano platform. This includes requests for:

  • Initial ethics review,
  • Modifications
  • Annual renewal
  • Closure.

How to submit an ethics review request

  • The researcher submits his project according to the deadlines (see current calendar). In addition to the usual documents (research protocol, consent form, recruitment letter, etc.), his or her request for evaluation must be accompanied by the relevant documents.
  • 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, the researcher must submit his or her research project via the CCSMTL’s 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.

Application of the New Reference Framework for Public Institutions in the Health and Social Services Network for Authorization of Research Taking Place in More than One Institution (Multi-Centre Research)

Since the adoption of the Cadre de référence des établissements publics du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux (RSSS) pour l’autorisation d’une recherche menée dans plus d’un établissement (adopted on February 1, 2015 and enhanced on April 1, 2016), projects taking place in several establishments in réseau de la santé et des services sociaux (RSSS) are multicentric. In this sense, a single RSSS REB is mandated to carry out the ethics review for all establishments. Since the implementation of Nagano and the change in governance of the REB RDP (which now reports exclusively to the CCSMTL Board of Directors), here are a few scenarios to consider when deciding which Nagano form to fill in:
