A joint certificate of approval has been launched in RISe for ethics applications that are harmonized under the BC Ethics Harmonization Initiative. Partners in the harmonization initiative are: Fraser Health, Interior Health, Island Health, Northern Health, Simon Fraser University, the University of Northern BC, University of Victoria and all UBC-affiliated REBs.
New certificates will now display each of the reviewing REBs and will show which REB acted as the Board of Record.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the new format or about submitting a harmonized ethics application.
