Budgeting for Clinical Trials
Researchers are responsible for creating comprehensive budgets that cover all expenses related to the conduct of a clinical trial.
Institutional Overhead
Institutional overhead must be added to the total cost of the research. Read the overhead guideline for more information.
Institutional Research Ethics Board (REB) Review Fees
An initial application fee of $3,000 CAD per application covers the cost of the submission and initial review of the application for an industry-initiated clinical trial and a $500 CAD annual renewal fee will be charged.
The UBC Certificate of Ethical Approval will not be released until the review fee has been received by the UBC REB.
Departmental Costs
Hospital departments such as pharmacy or the laboratory may be impacted by the conduct of a clinical trial. Contact Jason Sim for more information.

VCH Research Institute
6/F, 2635 Laurel Street
Vancouver, BC V5Z 1M9
