Subcommittee to the Panel on Research Ethics and Panel on Responsible Conduct of Research

About Us

The Two Panel Indigenous Research Technical Advisory Committee (2PIRTAC) advises the Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) and the Panel on Responsible Conduct of Research (PRCR) on Indigenous research ethics and responsible conduct of research. It provides advice on revision to chapter 9 of the TCPS and the RCR Framework, guides engagement with Indigenous communities, and supports the development of related guidance and resources to ensure policies reflect Indigenous perspectives, knowledge systems, and research contexts.
