Research Ethics Board - COVID-19 Information and Updates

UPDATED APRIL 26, 2022:

The Research Ethics Office at 725 Parkdale Avenue, Civic Campus is currently closed, and all staff are working remotely; all submissions (initial and post approval forms) should be submitted electronically via the Clinical Research Registration Form (CRRF) in IRIS.

New Research Studies:
  • New studies related to COVID-19 should be submitted electronically in the Clinical Research Registration form in IRIS well as an email to Nancy Camack at ncamack@ohri.ca, Dr. Saginur at rsaginur@toh.ca, and Dr. Cameron at bcameron@toh.ca.
  • All other new studies should be submitted electronically through IRIS.
  • New studies unrelated to COVID-19 will continue to be reviewed; however, studies related to COVID-19 will be prioritized.
  • If submitting a new application related to COVID-19, let your Research Ethics Coordinator or REBAdministration@toh.ca know immediately upon submission.
Signatures:
  • For initial REB applications, the Principal Investigator, Co-Investigator and Department/Division Head signature pages can be digitally signed by the applicable party, or email confirmation can be uploaded into the application in lieu of the signature page.
  • If the PI's signature is requested on a response to a Review Letter issued by the REB, the response letter can be digitally signed by the PI, or email confirmation from the PI can be provided.
  • The REB's post approval forms (Amendment, Reportable Event, Continuing Review and Study Closure) include electronic sign offs – the signatory applies their signature by entering their TOH IT login email and password.
