Q. I'm supervising a student who is completing a protocol for their research project. How should I fill out the form in Romeo?
With Romeo, both the PI and any member of the project team can work on the protocol before it is submitted to the Office of Research Ethics. You have two choices here for starting the protocol. You can either login to Romeo and create a basic shell for Romeo, or your student can work on the protocol and at the very end put you as the PI for the protocol. As the PI, you would then need to review the protocol and submit through Romeo to the Office of Research Ethics.
Q. Where do I put my surveys and letters of information?
Romeo allows you to attach instruments to the protocol through the attachments tab. You can add as many instruments as needed.
