Research at OCTC

Research and Review Committee

The Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre promotes and encourages research projects.

All research proposals involving clients, families, staff, services and/or other aspects of OCTC must be approved by the Research and Review Committee. The Research and Review Committee at OCTC is not an ethics committee.

The OCTC Research and Review Committee reviews research applications on a monthly basis, with the exclusion of July and August. In exceptional circumstances, review of proposals can occur during the summer months. Applications received on the 1 st Tuesday of the month will be reviewed during the same month.

Prior to submission to the Research and Review Committee, ethics approval must be received. The committee will only accept ethics approval from a Tri-Council Policy Statement compliant Research Ethics Board (REB).
