Governance Committee

The evolution of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) and the development of distinct research programs have created a need for ethics oversight of OICR’s own research. Most of the OICR project activities will be external to OICR and will have the necessary REB supervision; however, OICR-funded research or OICR researcher activities may involve OCREB oversight. OCREB currently serves the OICR’s Ontario Tumour Bank (OTB). To ensure the ongoing independence of OCREB decision-making, a Governance Committee was created to replace the previous OCREB Advisory Committee. This OCREB Governance Committee was established by and reports directly to the OICR Board of Directors. OCREB Governance Committee Terms of Reference
