When acquiring funding, it is important to understand and allow for all associated costs. Understanding the indirect costs of research can help you to plan your budget when applying for funds. Rates and more information can be found on our Indirect Costs of Research page.

You may still access your funding pending preparation and approval of a fully developed ethics application through the HREB Release of Funds Agreement.

Yes, students may be used as research participants as long as the researcher/instructor takes careful steps to avoid ethical complications due to conflict of interest.

If you have any questions or require more information on ethics and compliance, please contact Research Compliance Officer, Priscilla Wamucii, at 403.440.8470 or hreb@mtroyal.ca. You may also contact the Human Research Ethics Board chair, Dr. Lynne Lafave at 403.440.5967 or llafave@mtroyal.ca

ROMEO replaces the existing "Tracking Form" and online application system that has primarily been used for funded research activity and projects requiring Human Research Ethics Board (HREB) clearance. ROMEO helps faculty and their administrators maintain their compliance obligations for ethics approvals and research awards with enhanced project management capabilities through all stages of the project lifecycle. Faculty can login to one common interface to start a new grant application, check on the status of a HREB application or submit a final research report.

In order to submit an application, you must be the primary investigator as indicated on your application. The primary investigator you have listed on your application will need to log in to ROMEO to submit the application.
If you are the primary investigator and you still can not submit your application, please contact Christopher Graham (cjgraham@mtroyal.ca).

Only currently open internal competitions appear on ROMEO. If a competition is not listed, its deadline has passed. If you believe that there is an error and that a competition that should currently be open is not appearing, please contact Melissa Deane (mdeane1@mtroyal.ca).

For questions and assistance with ROMEO, please contact ORSCE manager, Melissa Deane, at 403.440.5081 or mdeane1@mtroyal.ca
