Need Help with Your REB Application? Attend Upcoming Office Hours
Support available for faculty, staff, and students preparing for ethics submissions

The Research Ethics Board at Mohawk College, in collaboration with IDEAWORKS, is launching a series of office hours to help guide the Mohawk community through the research ethics process. These sessions are open to faculty, staff, and students who are preparing to submit or revise an REB application for projects involving human participants.

Whether you’re new to the process or have specific questions about your submission, these drop-in office hours offer one-on-one support from REB members. Sessions will be held both virtually and in person throughout the Fall term.

What is the REB?

The Research Ethics Board (REB) is an independent committee that reviews research projects to ensure they comply with ethical standards set by the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS 2).

If your research involves interviews, surveys, human testing, or the collection of personal data, you are required to submit an REB application before beginning your research.
