Who reviews my proposal?

The REB is comprised of four panels. The panel to which proposals are directed for review depends on:

  • The subject of the research proposed
  • The scientific expertise of  the panel
  • In the case of the two multidisciplinary panels (A and B), the current workload of each panel is considered
Who decides who reviews my proposal?

Decisions as to which panel reviews each proposal are made by the Co-Chairs of the REB in consultation with REB Coordinators. 

Why does the REB review the study budget?

  • Feasibility
  • Coercion
  • Conflict of Interest
