Critical submission deadlines are on the horizon for research ethics applications.
2025 Research Ethics Board (REB) submissions — which need to be reviewed before the end of the year — are due the first week of December to give sufficient time to process applications ahead of REB review.
The Office of Research Ethics (ORE) receives applications at least five to eight business days before they can be scheduled.
With the upcoming Winter break, the submission deadline for minimal risk studies which receive Delegated Review weekly, is Monday, Dec. 8, 2025.
The submission deadline for more than minimal risk studies which receive Full Board review biweekly is Dec. 1, 2025.
Any submissions received after these due dates will be held until January 2026 and reviewed in the order they are received.
To submit a research ethics application to the REB/ORE, please email the full application package to ethics@uwindsor.ca. To access application forms, visit the REB website.
