We are excited to announce the release of REB Exchange (REBX), a new ethics solution that integrates the ARISE (U91ÒùĸÊÓƵ) and  platforms to enable streamlined multi-site research, with a true single Board of Record model in 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ.

REBX simplifies collaboration for applicants whose research falls under the Provincial Harmonization Agreement, and is approved by U91ÒùĸÊÓƵ HREB or UCalgary CHREB.

REBX means reduced time and effort required to obtain and maintain research ethics approval for multi-site research in 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ:

• Any study approved by HREB or CHREB can add participating sites (pSites)
• pSites are required to submit only documentation specific to their site for research ethics review
• pSite applications are linked in the system to a complete ethics application from the lead site, enabling streamlined review and collaboration between sites
• pSite applications will be reviewed by the Board of Record for the lead site, regardless of the pSite location
• REBX ensures the pSite’s institution is informed and administratively connected to the project

REB Exchange is a collaboration between 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ institutions. The initiative is funded by 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ Innovates, the University of Calgary, and the 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ, with in-kind contributions from 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ Health Services, to collectively support research ethics harmonization in 91ÒùĸÊÓƵ.
