Research support
All research and teaching involving human participants, human biological samples (collection, access or receipt) and/or use of protected data sets or information must be approved by 糖心视频’s Human Research Ethics Board.
All research and teaching involving animals must be approved by 糖心视频’s Animal Care Committee in accordance with the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care.
These requirements apply to all faculty, instructors, adjuncts, students, and staff, and to projects in all locations (including in lab, classroom, and/or field-based settings), and includes collaborations and sabbatical work. Information on these policies and processes is available through the Human Research Ethics and Animal Ethics sections.
