Presentation Title Here Why We Exist To protect the research participants and make sure that they’re not exposed to any unnecessary harms, risks or discomforts. To protect the researchers and students carrying out the research. Presentation Title Here Is Ethics Approval Needed? All research involving humans conducted by faculty, staff or students at Western or its affiliated hospitals or research institutes must be reviewed by a University-sanctioned review board. At that point the board will decide if approval is needed, if this is in question. Presentation Title Here Please remember… This includes ALL research. If you are not sure, please contact us and ask.
