Abstract

Did you know that all researchers at the University of Victoria, including students, faculty, and staff, need an ethics approval or exemption to conduct research involving human participants, personal information, and biological materials? The purpose of UVic's research ethics review process is to guarantee that research conducted by our institution and specialists follows the ethical standards established by Canadian universities, funding agencies, and regulatory bodies. In this talk organized by the UVic Graduate Student Law & Society Research Group with support from the Human Research Ethics Board (HREB), Kenna Miskelly not only explained why research ethics is important, but also explored UVic's research ethics review process and shared some tips on how to prepare a successful research ethics application.
