Research Ethics


All members of the University community who conduct research or teaching activities in which human or vertebrate animal subjects are used must have the approval of the appropriate University ethics committee.

Animal Ethics
Ethics protocols must be submitted by all researchers whose work involves the use of vertebrate animal subjects for research, experimentation, and/or teaching exercises.

Human Ethics
Ethics protocols must be submitted by all researchers whose work involves direct contact with human subjects/participants and/or the acquisition of raw or unformulated data obtained directly from human subjects/participants either by the researcher or by a third party.

If you have any questions regarding animal or human ethics, please contact Heather Mowat, Research Implementation, Ethics and Contracts at 204.786.9058 or email:  ethics@uwinnipeg.ca
