CanReview Agreement

The CanReview Agreement is a multi-party agreement that establishes the legal framework for organizational participation in CanReview. The Agreement enables a consistent, transparent, and trusted pan-Canadian model for the delegation of research ethics review across organizations participating in multi-site health studies in Canada.

Canadian health research organizations seeking to become CanReview Participating Organizations are invited to sign the Agreement as a Recruiting Site, REB Host Institution, or both. This authorizes REBs and researchers to participate in the CanReview system.

The CanReview Agreement includes:

  • CanReview Inter-Institutional Agreement (IIA) that governs how organizations delegate and accept ethics review, meet CanReview requirements and share oversight responsibilities.
  • Stream Terms of Service that authorizes organizations to use Stream, CanReview’s online platform.
