About Us
Institutions and investigators carry significant ethical, legal,
regulatory, and operational responsibilities. Yet maintaining a
fully resourced Research Ethics Board (REB), Research Ethics
Office (REO), and oversight system is not always practical
or sustainable.
​
NER was established as an innovative alternative-providing
access to a qualified REB, experienced REO staff, and robust
oversight and compliance services.
​
We serve as the official Board of Record for entire institutions,
specific research programs, or single sites for multi-jurisdictional
research. We also offer specialized ethics review in areas such
as Indigenous research and Al, with in-house administration and
customized oversight solutions tailored to your needs.

Our Purpose
To protect and respect research participants by applying the highest ethical standards while providing efficient, expert services that empower investigators to move
their research forward with confidence.
Our Purpose
At NER, we take a holistic, innovative approach to ethics review and human research oversight.
We bring together expertise in ethics, law, privacy, artificial intelligence, research methodologies, and community perspectives-including Indigenous leaders, elders, and knowledge keepers—to ensure informed, respectful review for all research participants.
