Research Ethics

EREB (Education Research Ethics Board) assists students in the Faculty of Education in 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 fulfills 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 2023/2024 is:

Richard Reeve, Chair, Faculty Member
Pamela Beach, Faculty Member
Kianna Mau, PhD Candidate
Emma Bozek, PhD Candidate
April Clausen, PhD Candidate
Kyle Cummings-Bentley, Administrative Support
