Policies and procedures
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
The Hôpital Montfort’s Research Ethics Board (REB) has adopted Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) developed by the Network of Networks (N2) and the Canadian Association of Research Ethics Boards (CAREB). They are specific to ethics boards that review-research involving humans and are compliant with applicable Canadian and US regulations, and ethics guiding principles. The purpose of those procedures is to promote quality and consistency of the review process among the different REB.
The following chart list, the adopted SOP and their complement which is specific to Hôpital Montfort, those are called «Procédures de fonctionnement normalisées (PFN) » that research team and their staff should be compliant with. You can click on this link to access a glossary of terms.
Please note that all the PFN are available in French only at this time.
