“Our REB is under-resourced!”
This is one of the most common concerns we hear from REBs. And they’re right.
REBs are stretched thin and often expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their core ethical review function. 🐙 1/6 🧵

This creates a vacuum where the REB is left to train itself, monitor its own performance, and assume institutional duties, often without the necessary infrastructure or independence. That’s not just unsustainable - it creates potential COI and undermines credibility. 5/6 🧵

Research participant protection is a shared responsibility. When institutions develop and maintain their HRPPs, REBs can focus on what they’re meant to do: ensure the protection of research participants through rigorous, independent ethics review. 6/6 🧵

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
@hrso_onrh's National Standards of Canada promote inclusion of women in research so that women and men benefit equally. Our accreditation program ensures that procedures meet this requirement.

The shocking revelations in CBC's investigation remind us that Canada needs to adopt HRA Canada's independent, objective accreditation program for human research. Without accreditation, human research ethics violations will continue unchecked.
