Research Ethics
Faculty of Education ethics submissions go through the Education Research Ethics Board (EREB) and the General Research Ethics Board (GREB). All Faculty research meets Tri-Council Research Ethics requirements. View requirements and forms for ethics.
EREB (Education Research Ethics Board) assists students in the Faculty of Education preparing ethics submissions for GREB review.
The role of EREB is to ensure that research is able to meet its intended outcome in a manner that reduces and minimizes risk to both the researcher(s) and the participants.
EREB conducts a scholarly review at the same time it conducts an ethical review. For studies that have been reviewed and approved by other external agencies, for example SSHRC, the scholarly review completed by that agency fulfils this requirement. In addition to reviewing submissions, EREB answers questions about research ethics, suggests changes to a study in order to address ethics issues, and makes presentations to B.Ed. and graduate students about research ethics.
The Education Research Ethics Board (EREB) committee for 2020/2021 is:
Saad Chahine, Chair
Amanda Cooper, Faculty
Jacob DesRochers, Graduate Student
Adira Winegust, Graduate Student
Kyle Cummings-Bentley, Administrative Support
