FVTesting - PI Status

UBC Researchers requesting for PI status approvals must provide the following:

• A letter or email of support must be submitted from the Department Head or Dean.
• The letter must clearly state:
  • That the department supports the research.
  • That the individual has the capacity to conduct the research independently as a PI.

Once this documentation is prepared, it should be sent to the relevant ethics board:

For Clinical REB (CREB):
Elmira Chan – Elmira.chan@ubc.ca 

For Behavioural UBC REB (BREB):
Maria Valente – Maria.Valente@ubc.ca

For Behavioral UBCO REB:
Lisa Shearer - Lisa.shearer@ubc.ca 

All UBC Principal Investigators are required to meet the responsibilities assigned to them in UBC Policy #LR9, Procedures.
 

Each affiliated non-UBC REB has its own process for granting PI status to individuals who are not automatically recognized in RISe. We recommend contacting your REB office (listed below) for review and approval, as some institutions have different PI approvals for different ranks. 

Once approved, the corresponding REB office will either contact our team to update the PI status in RISe, or make the update directly on your behalf.
