The Lambton College Research Ethics Board (REB) is committed to ensuring that research involving humans conducted at or under the auspices of Lambton College is executed with the highest ethical standards. The REB reviews research projects to ensure adherence to the federally mandated Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans - TCPS2 (2018) and College Research Policy.
All research involving human participants must undergo REB review before participant recruitment and data collection may begin. Applicants who are submitting minimal risk projects can anticipate a response within 10 business days. Applicants submitting above minimal risk projects should refer to the submission deadlines posted and can anticipate a response within 15 business days of the submission deadline. Researchers are encouraged to apply to the REB well in advance of their target project start date to avoid project delays. The Lambton College REB does not accept applications for review during the months of July and August.
