Board materials are sent out a week in advance to allow Board members time to review the materials. Applicants are advised that the Secretariat must have complete and timely materials well in advance of this deadline to ensure that any item will appear on the agenda.

After an application has been considered by the Board, the PEQAB Final Report (which incorporates the short recommendation to the Minister that has been posted on the PEQAB website after the Minister has made a decision about consent and the detailed Background Report) will be shared with the applicant institution, the External Expert Review Panels for that particular application and the Minister/Ministry. At the same time, the recommendation date is posted on the website. Following the Minister’s communication of his/her decision to the applicant, PEQAB posts on its website the recommendation and the Minister’s decision.
