participants. Their review is based upon the perspective of protecting human subjects involved in research protocols. LUREB’s role thus ensures compliance with the <a href="http://pre.ethics.gc.ca/eng/policy-politique_tcps2-eptc2_2018.html" target="_blank">Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS2)</a>. The committee is concerned primarily with ensuring that all research projects and practices respect the three core principles of the TCPS 2 (2018) which are, respect for persons, concern for welfare and justice throughout the life of the project. LUREB membership consists of multidisciplinary faculty with various areas of expertise in research, graduate students, as well as community members.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:16px;">If you have questions about the following, please email <a href="http://ethics@laurentian.ca">ethics@laurentian.ca</a>:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:16px;">An application currently under review</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:16px;">The ongoing status of an up-to-date approval</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:16px;">Consulting on an application</span></li> <li><span style="font-size:16px;">A presentation for your class about research ethics. </span></li> </ul> <p> </p> </div></div></div> </div> </section> </div> <section class="component accordion-module white"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12"> <h2 class="accordion-module-heading centered">Resources</h2> <div class="panel-group" id="accordion-1726508543" role="tablist" aria-multiselectable="true"> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading-Ethics-Forms"> <a role="button" class="accordion-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#Ethics-Forms" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="Ethics-Forms"> <h3 class="panel-title"> Forms, Policies, FAQs and Annual Reports </h3> </a> </div> <div id="Ethics-Forms" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading-Ethics-Forms"> <div class="panel-body"> <p><strong><span style="font-size:14px">Form available in the <a href="http://laurentian.ca/research/romeo" target="_blank">ROMEO portal</a>:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:14px">Ethical Review Form for Research Involving Human Subjects  </span></li> </ul> <hr /> <p><span style="font-size:14px"><strong>Forms, Policies, FAQs & LUREB Annual Reports:</strong> available on <strong><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15JB2l-nYBsuEsOmGEoYRjOP_PQ05IC3i?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>.</strong></span></p> <hr /> <p><span style="font-size:14px">Protect Your Data: <a href="https://www3.laurentian.ca/ITSecurity/data/">https://www3.laurentian.ca/ITSecurity/data/</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading-LUREB-Meetings"> <a role="button" class="accordion-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" href="#LUREB-Meetings" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="LUREB-Meetings"> <h3 class="panel-title"> 2024-25 LUREB Meeting Dates </h3> </a> </div> <div id="LUREB-Meetings" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading-LUREB-Meetings"> <div class="panel-body"> <p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif"><strong><span style="font-size:15.0pt">2024-2025 LU Research Ethics Board Meeting Dates</span></strong></span></span></p> <p> </p> <table align="center" border="1" cellspacing="0" class="MsoTableGrid" style="border-collapse:collapse;
