The NRC's Research Ethics Board (NRC-REB), and its support staff are central to the NRC's human participant ethics functions.
Reporting to the Senior Executive Committee through the Secretary General, the NRC's REB reviews applications for human participants ethics approval, oversees and advises on the ethical aspects of all research involving human participants in which the NRC participates, and provides a resource for education, guidance and leadership in the application of ethical principles in the conduct of research involving human participants.
