The Ottawa Hospital Research Ethics Board is responsible for the protocols proposed by investigators at the Civic, General and Riverside campuses of the Ottawa Hospital, investigators affiliated with the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, Civic and General Divisions; and investigators affiliated with the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Medicine.

Investigators that are associated with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute will submit their protocols to the Heart Institute Research Ethics Board for review. Where there is a question of overlap of patients, investigators should contact the Research Offices for clarification.
