CONDUCTING RESEARCH AT OSLER: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Before you commence any research-related activities at Osler, please submit your research study through the Research Office and make sure that:
1. YOU HAVE WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM OSLER’S RESEARCH ETHICS BOARD
2. YOU HAVE OPERATION APPROVALS
Will you will be using Osler resources or facilities (e.g., Diagnostic Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Laboratory, Pharmacy, Health Information Management), or accessing patients or staff to carry out your research? If “yes”, you must obtain an Operational Approval from each area. The person responsible for approving your request will determine whether their area is able to support your research.
3. YOU HAVE A FORMAL RESEARCH AGREEMENT
Osler’s Research Office facilitates the review and negotiations of all Agreements (for example, Non-Disclosure Agreements / Confidentiality Agreements; Clinical Trial Agreements; Site Agreements; Material Transfer Agreements; Data Transfer Agreements). The Research Office will also ensure the agreement undergoes legal review to ensure that the interests of the Institution are protected. Each final agreement must be signed by an authorized signatory from Osler. One fully signed copy of the agreement will be maintained by Osler.
RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH
Osler’s Research Ethics Board (REB) exists to make sure all research meets scientific, regulatory, and ethical standards. This helps protect human participants or human materials used for study.
The REB approves, rejects, monitors, makes suggestions, or stops any research that involves Osler patients. This could be an ongoing or proposed project. The REB must give written approval before research can begin. The REB adheres to the “Tri Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (2010)” and the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA-Ontario 1998, updated through November 2005). The Board considers ethical standards of professions, the standards in ethics literature, and the personal, professional and community values represented by REB members.
