The Office of Research Services has been working to develop an online interface through our database system, Romeo Researcher Portal, which will be launched Monday, June 1. The online portal will improve processing associated with the submission, review and approval of research-related grants, contracts, and certification applications. It will also provide researchers with online access to their research-related funding and certification files in the database. As of June 1, all UPEI internal forms associated with research-related funding and certification applications will be located within the UPEI Researcher Portal and must be submitted through the Researcher Portal. Submissions will not be accepted using any other format. 

All of the forms you are familiar with (such as seeking signatures, approvals, etc.) through Research Services and Synapse are now available within the new Researcher Portal database.

As of June 1:

·         all faculty researchers and staff will have full, online access to all their research related certification and funding files; and

·         all Research Services application forms will be housed in the new system so researchers can easily access, complete, and submit the appropriate form/s within this password protected site.

The new online process and system will be paired with electronic approvals to replace our current hard-copy signatures process.

The Research Services team is available to help make this transition go as smoothly as possible. If you have questions, please contact researcherportal@upei.ca and a team member will be happy to assist you.
