Ethics
All research involving human subjects must be approved by the Brandon University Research Ethics Committee (BUREC). A non-exhaustive list is available from BUREC for research that does not require ethics approval along with the BUREC exemption inquiry form.
Organizations outside of the university, such as RHA’s, may have their own ethics board and require a review in addition to the BUREC review. Some resources for ethics are provided below.
