In order to be compliant with the forthcoming U.S. Federal Wide Assurance for the Ethics of Research on Humans, it was agreed by the Chairs of four campus Research Ethics Boards (REB-I, REB-II, Education, and Agricultural and Environmental Studies) that effective immediately any request for ethics approval for a project associated with a U.S. federal funding agency (e.g., N.I.H., N.S.F.) that is submitted to them would be directed to the Institutional Review Board in the Faculty of Medicine for ethics review and approval. The Institutional Review Board in the Faculty of Medicine consists of two boards, A and B, and these will be officially registered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as the research ethics board at McGill University designated to act on such ethics approvals for campus-based research.
