Ethics protocols that involve ‘more than minimal risk’ must be reviewed by the full UPEI Research Ethics Board. However, the UPEI Research Ethics Board does not meet in December so the next deadline for submitting these protocols is Monday January 4 2016. They will be reviewed at the January meeting.  Protocols involving ‘more than minimal risk’ that are received after January 4 will be reviewed at the February meeting.

Other ethics protocol submissions, including new applications that do not involve ‘more than minimal risk’, renewals, and amendments may be submitted at any time. They will be sent for delegated review as soon as all necessary forms are received.

Please ensure that you download and use the current forms from http://www.upei.ca/research/forms. Use Adobe Reader to complete forms.

Submit the following:
·         one hard copy of the signed application form and associated documents to Joy Knight at the Office of Research Services, 200 Kelley Memorial Building and
·         one e-copy of all documents to reb@upei.ca.

For more information, please contact Joy Knight at 620-5104 or reb@upei.ca.
