The Horizon Health Network Research Ethics Board (Horizon REB) is one of the most efficient, requiring on average only 40 days for a full board review, and 10 days for expedited reviews from submission to decision. Horizon Health Network is the only institution in Canada to employ a full-time REB Chair. The REB ensures all research conducted throughout the region or by researchers affiliated in any way with Horizon Health Network conforms with the highest scientific and ethical standards prior to the initiation of the research. It also ensures that safeguards are in place to provide the greatest protection to patients and members of the community who serve as research participants. It currently oversees over 300 active research projects involving over 1,700 participants.
