Research Integrity Office

As the central organizing body for research at Humber River Health (HRH), the Research Department is dedicated to providing responsive, effective, and complete life-cycle support for the conduct of clinical trials and research that will have significant clinical and scientific impact for our patients’ healthcare.
The Research Department acts as a liaison between Principal Investigator’s (PI) and other groups, such as sponsoring agencies, Clinical Research Organizations (CROs), collaborating institutions and various offices, both on- and off-site. We strive to balance a high level of support to aid PIs and researchers by ensuring appropriate stewardship, regulatory and financial compliance for all types of research initiatives.

Institutional Approval (IA) is required for any research that uses resources, data, artificial intelligence, programs and/or services of Humber River Health (HRH) or its patients, clients, residents or staff, and is inclusive of considerations for organizational risks. IA is required for any research that will be conducted at or under the auspices of HRH. The Principal Investigator (PI) must obtain IA before submitting to the HRH REB (or CTO Qualified board).
Institutional Approval (IA) includes:
Research Impact Assessment (RIA) Form submission and final approval by Research Executive Committee
Financial Agreements, if there is funding with an external party
Mandatory Core Research Training & Documents for the PI and research team (see Education & Training tab)

Note: Clinical staff designated as Clinical Research support are not considered part of the research team. If clinical staff are required to perform a specialized protocol procedure that is deemed above standard of care, they should be identified as such and additional training will apply. In these cases, the PI should identify and delegate responsibilities to one individual at the time of study initiation, and this person will be responsible for performing that procedure for all research participants in the study.
