Research Services Forms

All research related forms are submitted through the UPEI Romeo Researcher Portal. This online portal will improve processing associated with the submission, review and approval of research-related grants, contracts, and certification forms. It will also provide researchers with online, password protected access to all their research-related funding and certification files in the database.

The Romeo Researcher Portal provides access to relevant documents/forms necessary for conducting research. Specifically,  

  • access to all Research Services *application forms, including UPEI internal forms associated with research related funding and certification applications so researchers can easily access, complete, and submit the appropriate form/s within the site;  
  • all faculty researchers and staff online access to all their current research related certification and funding files; and,  
  • electronic approvals for new applications. 

The document provides a step-by-step instruction for a number of processes in the Researcher Portal: 

You can also visit the UPEI Researcher Portal Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) or contact researchservices@upei.ca.

*Application forms include forms that are used to create an originating Romeo file. For example: a new certification file or documentation associated with a new funding application.

**Event forms are designed to capture data subsequent to an original application. For example: renewals of already approved certification protocols; funding agreement/s, contracts etc. that are received after the original application has been approved.
