Dear Members of the Research Community,

It’s been a while – almost a year to date – since I’ve shared a COVID update.

I am pleased to confirm that effective immediately, COVID-19 is no longer being treated as a special risk for human participant research at McMaster.

Please refer to the McMaster Research Ethics Board COVID FAQs or the HiREB website for further information, and do not hesitate to reach out to me or your ethics board staff if you have any additional questions.

Have a great summer,

Karen Mossman
Vice-President, Research
