BC Ethics Harmonization Initiative

As part of the BC Ethics Harmonization Initiative, MSFHR has issued a request for proposal (RFP) to develop a collaborative provincial human subject ethics review process in BC.  The RFP is based on recommendations arising from a November 2007 workshop involving wide representation from BC’s research ethics boards, institutional leaders and the research community.

MSFHR invites one proposal from a team of BC organizations with research ethics boards; collectively these organizations must conduct at least 80 percent of human subject ethics reviews in BC. Funding for the first year, contingent on MSFHR receiving the $15 million pledged by the BC Government on or before April 15, 2010, is $250,000. Proposal submission deadline is April 16, 2010.
