Research Ethics Board – Rehabilitation Medicine and Neuromodulation Panel
What We Do
The Research Ethics Board (REB) ensures that research involving human participants conducted within the University Health Network (UHN) meets the required standards of ethical and research conduct. The Rehabilitation Medicine and Neuromodulation Panel of the Research Ethics Board at UHN aims to review human research studies for all studies from The Kite Research Institute and the Center for Advancing Neurotechnological Innovation to Application (CRANIA).
Our Goals
By dedicating a specialized board with knowledge and experience in rehab studies to review submissions from the Kite Research Institute, our goal is to minimize delays between initial submission and institutional approval.
MEETING DATES AND SUBMISSION DEADLINES
Meeting dates and deadlines for submission are posted on the research intranet at http://intranet.uhnresearch.ca/service/meeting-dates-and-deadlines.
KITE Clinical Research Unit (KCRU)
The KCRU was established to review REB applications for completeness and consistency prior to submission to minimize delays in the review process. From conceptualization to institutional approval, the KCRU is committed to assisting KITE scientists and trainees with all their research ethics board application needs.
What We Do
- Submission Review – Review of all KITE clinical research applications before submission
- Help Desk – Single Point of Contact for all application issues
- Education – webinars, training, checklists, reference guides, etc.
- Statistics – approval time, volume of studies, problem identification
