An innovative new service has opened its doors in Waterloo. The Community Research Ethics Office (CREO), an initiative of the Centre for Community Based Research, provides community-based researchers with access to an ethics support and review process. The CREO’s services are offered in an environment that fosters the participation and collaboration of community researchers in a reflection process to maximize ethical conduct of research.
The CREO will hold its official launch on June 9, 2011. For more information about the office and launch, please contact Norah Love, CREO Coordinator at (519) 741-1318 x245 or by email at norah@communitybasedresearch.ca or visit the CREO website at www.communitybasedresearch.ca.
