Research Involving Eastern Health

Eastern Health supports research within the organization. The Research Proposals Approval Committee (RPAC) exists to approve and monitor research projects taking place throughout Eastern Health.

All research taking place with Eastern Health is required to have both Health Research Ethics Authority (HREA) and RPAC approval.

The RPAC committee meets monthly to review all new research proposals that have been approved by the ethics committee. The application is reviewed with attention to resource utilization and impact on the organization, issues of stewardship of biologic samples and protection of patient/employee privacy and confidentiality.

The Health Research Ethics Authority (HREA) has partnered with Memorial University (MUN) to create a Researcher Portal to facilitate the ethics review process for health research being conducted in the province. The Researcher Portal will allow researchers to go online and submit applications to the Health Research Ethics Board (HREB) and MUN’s Interdisciplinary Committee on Ethics in Human Research (ICEHR), as an approved health research ethics review body.

For further information you may contact the Patient Research Center at (709) 777-7283.
