Overview
The ROMEO Researcher Portal is used at HÂþ» to submit documents for internal review.
This includes:
research funding applications
research contracts and agreements (including contracts and agreements without funding)Ìý
other activities related to research, including requests for transfer of Tri-Agency funds, submission of amendments to research contracts, submission of Animal Ethics applications
Along with submission of documents for review and approval, researchers mustÌýconfirm review and agreement with theÌýResearch Accountability StatementÌýÌý[PDF - 98 KB ], and theÌýPrincipal Investigator AgreementÌý[PDF - 18.2 KB].
Approval by Department/School and Faculty
Once submitted by the Principal Investigator, the file must be approved by the Department/School and Faculty. By providing their approval the Department/School and Faculty are confirming:
- The researcher holds an appointment that allows the pursuit of research as a Principal Investigator (refer to HÂþ»â€™s Guidelines on Principal Investigator Eligibility)
- Departmental and Faculty commitments in the application, including time, space, equipment access, basic facilities, etc., are available to undertake the proposed project including in instances where they are not otherwise provided for by a signed letter of commitment.
- Awareness of the proposed faculty research activities and acceptance of resource commitments by the applicant (i.e., there is adequate time or release time afforded to the faculty member to undertake the research in line with the regular terms of their appointment). In addition, the Department and/or the Faculty is prepared to provide required support for the project, as may be needed from time to time, for successful completion of the project, and to ensure that funder requirements are met.
