Investigators holding a Certificate of Ethical Approval issued by a Research Ethics Board
other than UBC PHC REB must still apply for PHC institutional approval in circumstances
where the research is being conducted at another institution or location but where the
investigator, for research purposes, requires access to PHC services, clinical units, patients,
staff and to data or tissue held by PHC.

Contacts and Approval details
Research conducted at the UVic campus by non-UVic researchers does not normally
require operational approvals in addition to ethics review. However, UVic ethics staff will
contact university entities, departments, and offices when needed and connect them with
non-UVic researchers.

Vancouver Coast Health Authority does not have a Research Ethics Board. It conducts operational reviews, where
applicable, for UBC studies (via RISe ethics applications) as well as for SFU studies (outside RISe).
