BREB introduces: Indigenous Research and Ethics Review
As the Behavioural Research Ethics Boards (BREBs) work through the UBC Indigenous Strategic Plan and BC Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, they have recognized and responded to the concern that the BREB website did not provide clarity about how the Boards review Indigenous research.
The Behavioural Research Ethics Boards at UBC approach the review of research by and with Indigenous Peoples and communities with a lens of cultural safety, humility and learning. The BREB recognizes the impact of colonialism and the systematic oppression of Indigenous cultures, including by post-secondary research institutions in Canada. Guiding BREB reviews is a commitment to facilitate Indigenous led and partnered research.
