TCPS 2: CORE-2022
TCPS 2 sets out two categories of activity that do not require REB review:
The first category includes, for example, public health surveillance (the systematic collection, analysis and
interpretation of health-related data for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice), a
governmental activity that does not constitute research for the purposes of the TCPS 2 (TCPS 2 Interpretations,
Scope, Question 11).
The second category includes, for example, an interactive art installation that would include the participation of
an audience. However, an interactive art installation that is being used as an intervention by a researcher may be
subject to REB review (see “Dual purpose” below).
Any ethics issues raised by these non-research activities may be addressed by professional or disciplinary
associations. Institutions may also establish specialized committees that assess quality assurance and quality
improvement activities conducted under their auspices.
The distinction between research, as defined in the TCPS 2, and other activities is not always clear. Some
questions to consider include:
