Dear Researchers
The Research Services Office and the Research Ethics Board are excited to announce the upcoming implementation of ROMEO: an online, database-driven solution that manages research ethics submissions and approvals, grant approvals, tracks project status and reporting deadlines.
ROMEO will be launched in two phases:
Phase I :
ROMEO Ethics module and online Researcher Portal
Launch date: Friday, March 27
As of this date, faculty members, staff and students will be able to login online to:
- submit new REB applications;
- track the status of new REB applications;
- view previously-submitted REB applications; and
- submit annual and final reports and requests for renewal.
The online application and forms mirror their current paper-based versions. Effective April 30, 2015, paper-based REB applications and applications sent by email will no longer be accepted.
The Research Services Office staff members are available to provide assistance to researchers upon request through research@ocadu.ca

Phase II
ROMEO Awards module
Launch date: Spring 2015
The ROMEO Awards module will allow researchers to:
- submit new applications for grant authorization, replacing the existing Grants Authorization Form (GAF);
- track the status of applications;
- view information about current and past grants and awards; and
- track milestones and reporting deadlines.
In-person training sessions will be held in late March and throughout April. Additional in-person sessions will be scheduled throughout AY2015-2016 and based on demand. Remote training will be made available online in May and September. Training dates and details are available here.
Log-in instructions and information updates will be provided by email and posted on the Research webpage as they become available.
