HREB Applications

Here is the link to the HREB website with all of the information you require for your ethics application. If you would like assistance with your application, please do not hesitate to contact Mark Lafave.

Please ensure you allow ample time for review, as the process is expected to take one month minimum.  Your project will undergo initial review followed by a  delegated review (minimal risk). At that point there will likely be changes you need to address and a resubmission and final review. The process described is the quickest and most straight forward.  It will take longer for a more complicated project, full board review, or poorly done application.

Are you working with colleagues at an external University that has ethics clearance? Please note that you will still need to submit ethics to MRU HREB. See TCPS 2 multi-jurisdictional research for more information.
