Please note: the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics does not recommend the use of this retired tutorial.

TCPS 2 has replaced the 1st edition of the TCPS (1998) as the official human research ethics policy of the Agencies. Accordingly, this original TCPS tutorial has been retired.

Please note that the Introductory Tutorial for the first edition of the TCPS has been permanently disabled. Certificates for the old tutorial will no longer be issued.

The Panel on Research Ethics developed a new tutorial specifically for TCPS 2. We invite you to access the current tutorial – TCPS 2: CORE (Course on Research Ethics).
