University of Saskatchewan
Biomedical Research Ethics Board

To accommodate regulatory requirements and to meet the needs of researchers, the Biomedical Research Ethics Board (Bio-REB) will hold two full-board meetings per month from September to July, and one meeting in August. The meetings will be held on the first and third Wednesday of every month.

Protocol submissions must be submitted by 4:30 pm on the submission date. Late applications will be held over to the next meeting date. There is a maximum of 8 protocols per meeting with some flexibility. Protocols will be numbered as the Research Ethics Office receives them. The protocols will be assigned to one or the other meeting that month according to the Board membership expertise for due diligence in the review of the protocol. Any submissions over the allotted limit will be held over to the next meeting and numbered accordingly.

Amendments, revisions and updated annual approval requests that require full board approval must be submitted as per the submission date schedule to be included on the agenda of the scheduled meeting.
