MUHC Research Ethics Board (REB) Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's)

NEW MUHC REB SOP
 

New SOPs adopted by the MUHC REB

New standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the Research Ethics Board (CER) of the McGill University Health Center (MUHC) will be in effect as of March 20, 2020. The SOPs codify the practice and lay out the regulatory requirements for conducting research with human beings under the auspices of the MUHC. The SOPs were developed based on the national model made available by CAREB-ACCER and N2 and by integrating the specifications present in the normative framework of the Province of Quebec. This was made possible thanks to the efforts of a working group supported by the CATALIS initiative that brought together representatives from two other university health centre (CHU).

The new SOPs replace the ​corresponding sections of the 2010 Regulatory Framework in Health Research at the McGill University Health Centre and are an update to the REB SOPs in effect since 2017. The SOPs are available in French and English on the MUHC REB website and can be consulted by research teams, commercial sponsors, and any other interested stakeholder.

The harmonization of our SOPs with those of other sites will make it possible for researchers who have projects ongoing at other sites to be confident that they meet the requirements of those sites whose logo has been affixed to the version of the SOPs found on the MUHC REB website. At this point, this includes the CHUM and the CHU Sainte-Justine. Other sites within the Quebec healthcare network (RSSS) are similarly in the process of adopting the harmonized SOPs.

We would like to recognize the spirit of sharing and collaboration that has enabled this accomplishment. Please note that additional training material will proximately be made available on the MUHC REB website.
