Dear CAREB members,

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Association of Research Ethics Boards (CAREB), I am pleased to issue the CAREB guidance document "Reporting of Unanticipated Problems including Adverse Events to Research Ethics Boards in Canada". This document is intended to assist the research ethics community in Canada in standardizing the reporting of unanticipated problems, including certain adverse events, and should be viewed as a recommendation only.

Dear colleagues,

Over the years there have been varying and inconsistent interpretations with respect to ethical practices when the Tri-Council Financial Monitoring Visit teams have come to institutions to do their audits.
