Are you preparing an REB application this fall?

Updated Tri-Council Policy Statement: TCPS 2 (2018) and Course on Research Ethics (CORE)

Welcome to fall, an especially busy time across the college. And this includes research, as applications to the Humber REB are growing in number and complexity. As part of the Humber REB application process, researchers must complete the TCPS 2 and submit the certificate with the application.

This summer, after extensive public consultation, the Secretariat for the Panel on Research Ethics (a Government of Canada agency) based in Ottawa, released the TCPS 2 (2018). It replaces the TCPS 2 (2014) as the official research ethics policy of the federal research agencies (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC). The Secretariat is now developing a new CORE tutorial that will incorporate many of the changes in the new Policy. A summary of the revisions published in TCPS (2018) is available in the Highlights of Changes.

No fundamental changes were made to the Policy. The three core principles – Respect for Persons, Concern for Welfare, and Justice – continue to be the foundation of both the new Policy and CORE.

If you are registering to complete the certificate, you will be able to access the existing CORE modules through the new TCPS website or directly through this link.

The Secretariat cannot yet confirm when all the modules will be revised. Until then, applicants simply follow the current posted material. No one will be asked to redo any portion of the tutorial when all the modules have been updated.

If you completed the TCPS 2 (2014), your certificate is still valid and does not need to be redone.

For further clarification, please contact the Secretariat directly: 613.996.0072; secretariat@srcr-scrr.gc.ca

With the departure of Lara Hof from the Office of Student Conduct (OSC), Andrea Campea, currently the Acting Manager of Residence Life, has been appointed Acting Manager, Office of Student Conduct. Andrea has an extensive history in student conduct administration, currently sits on the Student Support & Intervention Team, and with ease will be able to make the transition to the Office of Student Conduct. Andrea and Lara were fortunate to connect and transition prior to Lara's departure. Andrea will officially take over the role in OSC on Monday, September 23. Andrea will also retain several of her responsibilities within the Residence Life portfolio, drawing on the support of the Residence Life Coordinators for specific tasks, and will continue in the role as Interim Manager. 

I’d like to once again thank Lara for her leadership and commitment to supporting Humber students and express thanks to Andrea for her openness to take on new responsibilities over the next few months.

Professor John Walsh, vice-provost of the University of Guelph-Humber, will complete his third term June 30, 2020.

Following an administrative leave, John plans to rejoin the Department of Management as a professor in U of G’s Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics.

The announcement was made today by Charlotte Yates, the University of Guelph’s provost and vice-president (academic), and Laurie Rancourt, senior vice-president (academic) of Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning.

 “John has played a fundamental role in making Guelph-Humber a student-focused and industry-supported success,” Yates said.

Rancourt added: “John’s dedication and commitment has been unwavering. He has helped ensure that our students are provided with an unparalleled education and work-integrated learning experiences.”

Before his appointment as vice-provost professor Walsh was associate dean of U of G’s Faculty of Management and director of the former School of Hospitality and Tourism Management.

An interim vice-provost will be appointed following Walsh’s departure while the institutions continue developing a new strategic plan.
