About
The Dawson College Research Ethics Board is an autonomous body that is mandated by Dawson College’s Board of Governors to review the ethical acceptability of research involving humans and supports researchers to maintain the highest ethical conduct by ensuring that the ethical guidelines of the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans and the Dawson College Policy on the Ethical Conduct of Research Involving Humans are respected.
Research ethics review is required for:
-
- Dawson researchers and researchers from other institutions who wish to conduct research activities at Dawson College or recruit human participants at Dawson College,
- Dawson researchers under the auspices of Dawson College, who wish to conduct research with human participants external to the College.
