MSSS Multicentre Mechanism

As of April 1, 2008, all multicentre studies conducted in Quebec that fall under the purview of the MSSS must undergo a central review as per the MSSS criteria: http://ethique.msss.gouv.qc.ca/site/fr_mecanismemulticentrique.phtml

However, as of November 1, 2008 and only for those studies taking place in 4 or less Quebec sites, the main PI may choose to use either the MSSS multicentre process or the regular submission process.

Before submitting a multicentre study to the Faculty of Medicine IRB, please contact the IRB office.
