Other: Pan-Canadian Single Research Ethics Review Initiative

How to Apply: 
  • The specific objective of this funding opportunity is to strengthen Canada’s clinical trial ecosystem and infrastructure, and position Canada as a competitive destination for global clinical trials by fostering the implementation of an efficient, high-quality, and sustainable research ethics review system for multi-site, multi-jurisdictional clinical trials in Canada, regardless of sponsor and source of funding, that:
    • Operates as a pan-Canadian system, accessible across all jurisdictions, subject to any local legislative or policy-related considerations; and
    • Is designed to avoid duplication of ethics reviews that are not anticipated to provide additional protections for research participants in accordance with TCPS; and
    • Provides for alternative approaches, as needed, through collaborative engagement, to establish a federated model that will work with the constraints of jurisdictional processes and legislation where applicable.
