Research Services Forms
All research related forms are submitted through the UPEI Romeo Researcher Portal. This online portal will improve processing associated with the submission, review and approval of research-related grants, contracts, and certification forms. It will also provide researchers with online, password protected access to all their research-related funding and certification files in the database.
