Can I share my Research Ethics Board (REB) protocol approval with colleagues working on similar projects?
No. The REB approves protocols with the understanding that the work will be conducted only by the investigators named in the protocol application. If your colleagues would like to work on your research project, you may modify your existing protocol to add them as co-investigators. Otherwise, they must apply for their own REB clearance. To modify an approved protocol, complete Revision or Modification to an Ongoing Application. • I would like to do a research project in the local district schools but I don’t know the procedure for doing so. Contact the appropriate school board to find out their procedures and timelines. Often this information is posted on websites. Many school boards have their own REB guidelines that you will need to adhere to in order to gain access to research participants. Consideration may be given to teachers conducting research in their own schools but the decision rests with the school board. Please make sure that you allow yourself sufficient time to go through
