Cancer Committee  |  Fees

Research studies which receive funding from industry (e.g. pharmaceutical/medical device companies) or other for-profit organizations are charged an administration fee for the initial ethics review. There are no fees for ongoing review activities, nor for the initial review of studies which are unfunded or funded by cooperative groups, internal funds, or grants.

Once the ethics certificate is released (i.e. the study is approved) an invoice will be sent from Alberta Innovates for the amount indicated below (GST will be added if applicable). Please do not send in the administration fee until you receive an invoice.

PLEASE NOTE:

Effective September 1, 2026: The administrative fee is payable regardless of the outcome of the review or the current state of the study (this includes withdrawing the application after review by the REB has commenced.)
