Canada’s three funding agencies have announced the release of an updated interagency policy statement on ethical conduct in research involving humans. The latest version incorporates editorial and technical corrections, among other changes. A summary of amendments can be found on the last page of the statement.

Since 2003, the electronic version of the tri-council policy statement has been the official version of the document. It is available online at www.pre.ethics.gc.ca. Subscriptions to notification of future policy updates can be requested on the web site’s subscription page.
