IMPORTANT INFORMATION on REQUIREMENTS for REB SUBMISSIONS

The mandatory Course in Human Research Participant Protection (CHRPP) training requirement put forward by the University of Manitoba's Ethics Policy Implementation Committee, has now been replaced by the Course of Research Ethics (CORE). CORE reflects the new content in the Tri-Council Policy Statement Ethical content for Research Involving Humans 2010 (TCPS2). CORE is based on the same framework as the CHRPP (which reflects TCPS1).

Mandatory completion of the CORE tutorial is required of all Researchers (including those at CCMB) who submit research for review and approval by the U of M REB. This includes:
  • Principal Investigators
  • Co-Investigators
  • Clinicians working with the study
  • Research Nurses
  • Clinical Research Professionals
  • Study Coordinators
  • Research Assistants
  • Trainees
  • Investigational Drug Pharmacists and Technicians

Please note: For all researchers submitting an ethics protocol for REB review you must have completed either the CHRPP or the CORE tutorial. Those who have already completed the CHRPP tutorial will NOT be asked to complete the CORE tutorial.

Prior completion of training in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) or the National Institute of Health Protection of Human Research Participants course does not exempt you from completing CORE.

REB approval will be granted, as appropriate, following receipt of a copy of the tutorial certificate. For CCMB Researchers using the services of the Clinical Investigations Office (CIO), please also submit a copy of your certificate to the attention of the Ethics and Regulatory Affairs Secretary in ON 2107.

The purpose of the RRIC is to:
  • Ensure that appropriate resources (staff, space, study medications/treatments) are available for the conduct of studies at CCMB
  • Confirm that proposed studies meet the priorities of the DSGs
  • Ensure that competing studies are delayed to prevent undue burden on both potential participants and staff
  • Promote the work of local investigators so that they are able to do independent/co-operative group research when faced with competition from industry-funded clinical trials
  • Educate investigators, participants and staff about the research process where needed
  • Conform to the Mission and Values of the institution
