Sponsors

How does REB Exchange help study sponsors?

Institutions, partners, and sponsors (including industry sponsors such as pharma, biotech, or medical device companies) will benefit from:

  • Reduced administrative processes = faster start up times = earlier results

  • Streamlined collaboration between sites

  • One Research Ethics Board (REB) of Record per study

  • Simplified deployment of protocol modifications study-wide

  • Documentation transferred to all sites

  • Single renewal date for ethics across all sites

  • Lead researchers deliver information and reporting for all sites, with streamlined communication tools

Fees

Ethics review fees are collected by the host institution for sponsored studies (includes studies supported by any for-profit organization). Each pSite added to a sponsored study requires a one-time ethics fee of $2,000. Fees collected for sponsored studies cover all renewals, modifications, reportable events, etc.

Alberta Research Ecosystem

Alberta, Canada is a dynamic ecosystem to conduct all types of research. Home to world-class researchers and integrated and innovative processes, Alberta is a leading jurisdiction when it comes to streamlined research.

REB Exchange simplifies collaboration between sites across Alberta, bolstering the considerable strength of the Alberta research ecosystem.

“REB Exchange is a major step forward in research ethics harmonization in Alberta.”
