Research Ethics

Selkirk College is committed to high standards of integrity, accountability and responsibility in the conduct of any college-sanctioned research that is done by college faculty, staff or students, or by any other scholars that have a formal association with the college. 

In our daily work, we follow: 

All research involving human participants is reviewed by the Selkirk College Research Ethics Committee, which is guided by the Tri-Council Policy Statement: 2 Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS2). Faculty, staff and students undertaking research that involves human participants are required to complete the Tri-Council Policy Statement Course on Research Ethics (CORE-2022).

Learn more about research ethics proposal requirements, related deadlines, appropriate forms to use and how to submit a proposal to the Research Ethics Committee.
