Do I need to pay a fee?
Criteria for Waiving Fees
The initial ethics review fee is waived for:

• Studies that do not have funding
• Studies funded by a grant from a non-profit organization
• Studies that receive internal grants from UBC, PHSA or their affiliated agencies or research institutes
• Studies funded by cooperative groups (i.e. COG)
• Studies funded by CIHR, SSHRC, NSERC and NIH (including NIH Institutes)

Criteria for Charging Fees
Research projects that receive industry (i.e. pharmaceutical, biological or medical device company) funding, or funding from any other for-profit organization will be charged a fee for initial ethics review by the UBC C&W REB.

The fee for UBC C&W REB ethical review is $3000, which covers initial review of a new project as well as all subsequent reviews such as annual renewals, request for acknowledgement and amendments. 

The UBC C&W REB Office will issue an invoice once your research project has been submitted on RISe. Please note that Certificates of Approval will not be issued until fee payment has been received. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to ensure that their sponsor is aware of this requirement and to submit the payment promptly to the UBC C&W REB. 

Mechanism for Submitting the Fee 

Internal Transfer from a C&W or PHSA account
Please return a copy of the invoice with the C&W or PHSA cost centre information as indicated and signatures from the appropriate authorizing signatory to the REB office.

Cheque

Attach copy of the invoice and include the REB number (HXX-XXXXX) as a reference.
