Provincial RITHIM Committee (PRC)

The Provincial RITHIM Committee (PRC) is a subcommittee of the Research Manitoba board.  The primary responsibility of the Provincial RITHIM Committee (PRC) is to support the creation and provide oversight over RITHIM. PRC:

• Advises and oversees the Committee for the Harmonization of Health Impact, Privacy, and Ethics Review (CHIPER) to enable and support its role as a provincial research ethics board.
• Oversees the administrative support provided by RITHIM to support the Provincial Health Research Privacy Committee (PHRPC) in performing its role efficiently and effectively under the Personal Health Information Act (PHIA), although PRC does not oversee PHRPC.
• Draws upon the experience and knowledge of the stakeholders with expertise in privacy and health research of Manitoba.
• Reports to the Research Manitoba Board of Directors.
