Institutions Using OCREB

OCREB as Research Ethics Board of Record

Ontario centres with an agreement in place can submit a research project to OCREB for review and approval. As their Research Ethics Board of Record, OCREB is fully accountable to the institution for initial and ongoing ethics review, approval and monitoring of the research; OCREB may approve, reject, propose modifications to, put on hold or terminate the research project at its sole discretion.
