Canada's three federal research agencies, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), collaborated to establish the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) and the Panel on Responsible Conduct of Research (PRCR). The PRE is responsible for creating, interpreting, and implementing the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS2) to ensure that research involving human participants is conducted with ethical considerations and standards. The PRCR is tasked with ensuring a consistent and uniform approach to promoting responsible conduct of research and addressing any reported breaches of Tri-Agency Policies.
CSFS reviews each Panel’s ongoing revisions and article interpretations of the TCPS2 and RCR to ensure that our research policies and procedures remain up to date.
Our Research Ethics Policy and our Policy on Responsible Conduct of Research have been updated and revised to best reflect the recent updates made to the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS2) and the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). These revisions ensure that our research practices are aligned with the latest ethical standards and guidelines, promoting integrity, accountability, and respect for all participants involved.
