VIU Research Ethics Board

Welcome to the Vancouver Island University (VIU) Research Ethics Board (VIU REB) Web site.

This website is designed to assist researchers and others in learning about ethics in research, in order to maintain VIU's commitment to the highest ethical standards in research involving human subjects and to seeing that the safety, health, welfare, and rights of subjects are adequately protected.

The mandate of the VIU REB is to:

1. educate the VIU community about ethical issues surrounding research with human beings, and to
2. implement the institutional policy and procedures concerning research with human subjects.

Specifically, the board ensures that all research projects involving human beings follow standard ethical guidelines and are subject to ethical review, whether they be student projects or faculty projects.
