The Research Ethics Office would be happy to meet with researchers on an individual or class basis, to facilitate a case study discussion, present an overview of research ethics issues, or simply participate in an informal discussion.

Multi-Institutional Research
If you are conducting research at a facility outside of Brock, you are required to obtain the necessary Research Ethics Board clearance from the participating institution/school board. Clearance by one Research Ethics Board does not oblige the participating Research Ethics Board to grant ethics clearance to the protocol. Please read the Guidelines for Inter-Institutional Research if you are participating in multi-institutional research.
