Certification Guidelines
Ethics Review Certification must be obtained prior to starting the research. The Research Ethics Board (REB) meets monthly except for August. Request for Ethical Review applications must be received one week (and preferably two weeks) prior to the meeting. See Research Ethics Board for additional information.
All research, funded or unfunded, involving human participants must first be reviewed by and receive approval from the Research Ethics Board (REB) before research can begin. The general guideline is that if any participants are involved in your research project, you are collecting “data” (voice, text or numerical) or the results will be published, an ethical review is mandatory. All research must also comply with the JIBC Research Policies & Procedures. Access to funds only occurs after all of the required certificates are in place.
Administrative Support
The Office of Applied Research and Graduate Studies provides administration support for the REB and processing Ethics Review applications.
Government Support
The Federal government has a no-cost TCPS 2 training course regarding ethical guidelines. CORE provides an applied approach to the guidance provided in the Second Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS2). This self-paced course features interactive exercises and multi-disciplinary examples.
CORE consists of eight modules ranging from Core Principles to REB Review. It is designed primarily for the use of researchers and REB members – though anyone may take this course. From the starting page for the TCPS2 Tutorial on Ethics, follow the link to register – they send a confirmation email within an hour or so, allowing you to log in and work through the tutorial, or sections of the tutorial most relevant to you.
Research Brief Template Form
A two-page pdf form highlighting key information for research projects. A Research Brief must be filled in and submitted to appliedresearch@jibc.ca upon completion of your research project.
The annual JIBC Applied Research Day is a great opportunity to showcase your research and check out the projects and initiatives where applied research at JIBC is involved.
Tips for Research Posters
The smallest font should be 20pt
Should read poster from 1.5 - 2 metres away
White space is important - it does not all need to be filled in with text!
Use images such as diagrams, charts and photos to add to the visual impact
Spell check and have someone proofread before printing
JIBC Faculty Research Posters
Printed on 36"x48" paper with 100 lb matt

The purpose of this Research Data Management (RDM) Strategy is to ensure that research data is preserved, kept secure and made accessible. In March 2021 the Canadian Tri-Agencies released the Tri-Agency Research Data Management (RDM) Policy (the Policy). The objective of the Policy is to support Canadian research excellence by promoting sound RDM and data stewardship practices. All postsecondary institutions eligible to administer Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) funds are required to create an institutional RDM strategy. Institutional RDM Strategies must be publicly available by March 1, 2023, on the institution’s website. The website must include contact information to which inquiries about the strategy can be directed.
Representatives from the Centre for Research, Innovation & Scholarship, the Library, and Technology Services formed the JIBC Research Data Management Working Group. The RDM Working Group conducted a preliminary assessment of institutional services and data management capacity and developed a plan to meet current and future requirements to comply with the Policy.
JIBC's Library has created a Library Guide on Research Data Management for researchers to explore best practices to satisfy grant funding and publisher requirements, create efficient workflows for projects, and help other users of the data interpret your JIBC research.
