Using a customer service approach within the constraints of regulatory requirements, the Research Ethics Office is responsible for the ethical oversight of human participants involved in research. Any research project involving human participants (or their data/biological materials), whether funded or not, must receive REB approval by one of the Research Ethics Boards prior to commencement.
