According to the Tri-Council Policy Statement on "Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans", all research involving humans that is conducted under the auspices of the Institution must receive ethics review and approval from an intra-mural Research Ethics Board. Our University Standards for the Protection of Human Research Participants requires intra-mural review and approval by our University Research Ethics Boards for all human research (with the exception of human research conducted as Supplementary Professional Activity).
