In the event that the majority of research will take place in an institution other than that of the PI’s primary appointment, the BoR may be the REB that represents the institution where the research will take place. If Northern Health would be considered the BoR under these guidelines, UNBC will by default be the BoR as agreed between Northern Health and UNBC.
