There has been a great deal of activity for Research Improvements Through Harmonization In Manitoba (RITHIM) since our last update, and we have some important news to share with the research community.

Key activities include:

  • Discontinuing the current software build and moving toward a search for an alternate vendor.
  • Building business processes to support the future state of RITHIM, including establishment of harmonization processes.
  • Developing Committee for Harmonized Health Impact, Privacy, and Ethics Review (CHIPER) policies and procedures with the recent approval of chair, vice-chair and member terms of reference.
  • Appointing four new Provincial Health Research Privacy Committee (PHRPC) members and adding a new committee vice-chair role.
