WesternREM (WREM)
If you are not currently receiving memos that are sent out by the team but would like to, you can sign up now to join our mailing list.
The human research ethics team launched WesternREM, its new online protocol submission platform, on September 7, 2017, replacing ROMEO.
Please Note: We have updated our WREM application forms on January 27, 2023, which will require the current Project Owner (listed on Work Area screen & Collaborators tab) to update the projects within WREM.
When you log in to WREM, you will notice the following message at the top of the project screen: “Warning: The project owner must update your project in order to submit this form.”
The message appears only when there has been an update to the application form(s). The Project Owner will need to accept the update prior to a) submitting an application form and/or b) completing an application you have been working on when the message appeared.
