REB Meeting Dates & Deadlines

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the usual REB processes described below have been temporarily changed. For the most up to date information on REB operations, please see the REB COVID-19 Information and Updates page.

Delegated review applications:

Delegated applications are accepted on a rolling basis and not subject to a submission deadline.

Full board review applications:

• Accepted for screening: Applications can be submitted for screening at any time. Applications can be sent to researchethics@smh.ca with the subject “PI Last name – New Full Board Submission”.
• Accepted for Board review: Applications that have been screened and determined to be accurate and complete will be accepted for Board review.  They will be given priority scheduling for review at the Board meeting that falls after the next meeting deadline date.

Please consider submitting your applications well in advance of your planned meeting date, in the event that screening clarifications are requested. If clarification requests are not addressed prior to the deadline for a meeting, your application will not be scheduled for review at that meeting.
