The Ethics office is making an update to processing annual renewals and study closures. As of March 8, 2021, annual renewal letters will no longer be generated for GREB and HSREB. Instead this information will be communicated via email only. If you require records for auditing purposes refer to the email communication or in TRAQ select 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜Shared Communications카지노 게임 컬렉션™ and click the 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜preview카지노 게임 컬렉션™ icon. Study teams can also confirm the annual renewal or study status in TRAQ via the 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜Event Info카지노 게임 컬렉션™ in the 카지노 게임 컬렉션˜Note(s)카지노 게임 컬렉션™ box. 

In order to improve processing times, the HSREB will be moving forward with processing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Protocol Deviations (PDs) through an official email acknowledgment. If your study sponsor requires a letter, indicate so in the shared comments. 

Indigenous Community Research Partnerships (ICRP) Training Resource is an online open education training resource . The Group for Ethics and Engagement in Indigenous Community Research Partnerships (EIP), author of the training resource, consists of partnerships with Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, and Queen's 카지노게임사이트 Arts and Science Online, the Centre for Teaching and Learning, and the Office of Indigenous Initiatives . It is designed to assist researchers who are new to research in partnerships with Indigenous communities, or who are researchers-in-training, to:

  • Operationalize required regulatory policy requirements and research directives;
  • Ensure equitable inclusion of Indigenous and Western-oriented knowledge in research systems;
  • And, in the case of Indigenous-specific enquiry, to privilege or give primacy to Indigenous ways of knowing and doing;

The ICRP training is available online and on-demand and can be taken as a Queen's Certificate (available to those with a Queen's netID) or as an Open Access educational resource available to the public. The training resource is in the form of four modules, with a fifth module designed specifically for the Queen's 카지노게임사이트 local context (coming soon!).  The training resource is designed to be completed at your own pace.  A certificate of completion will be issued to those who register and complete the training resource.
