The Ethics and Compliance Office houses the Human Research Ethics Board (HREB) and the Animal Care Committee (ACC) that review all human participant and animal research conducted by Faculty, students and staff of the University.
In addition to personal, institutional, scholarly or professional expectations, institutions also have to meet external accountabilities. The University is obligated to comply with the following requirements (among others):
- Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research (2021)
- MRU Responsible Conduct in Research Policy
- Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans - TCPS 2 (2022)
- MRU Ethics of Research Involving Human Participants Policy
- Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC)
- MRU Animal Care Policy
Research ethics focuses on the participants or subjects of the research. Fundamentally, research ethics review is geared toward protecting participants by minimizing the harms or risk to which they are exposed.
