The Office of Research Ethics, on behalf of the UWO Research Ethics Boards (REB), manages the approval and monitoring process for the use of humans in research at UWO and its affiliated hospitals and research institutes. All research involving humans conducted by faculty, staff or students at UWO or its affiliated hospitals or research institutes must be approved by a UWO-sanctioned review board.

Important Notice re: REB Registration
Effective January 2009, the FDA has mandated that all Research Ethics Boards (REBs) be registered prior to reviewing clinical investigations regulated by the FDA (in the Investigational New Drug or Investigational Device Exemption categories) or investigations that are used to support a research or marketing permit for products under FDA regulation. The UWO Health Sciences REB and the Non-Medical REB are both fully registered with the US Food and Drug Administration:
University of Western Ontario IRB #1 - HSREB IRB00000940
University of Western Ontario IRB #2 - NMREB IRB00000941
University of Western Ontario IORG 0000606
