Creating your First Amendment after Migration

by | Mar 2, 2026 | News, Press Releases

Projects approved by the University of Manitoba REBs were imported in November 2025. As a requirement of our system, all imported projects must be reviewed and validated with a signature from the Principal Investigator (PI). Once validation has been completed, follow-on applications, such as amendments, can be submitted.

For step-by-step guidance on imported projects, please refer to the Imported Project Guide.

How to submit an amendment after migration:

  1. Validate your imported project. The PI must review and sign off on the imported project in the system.
  2. Ensure that all research team members have created Harmony accounts and all personal profiles are fully completed. For guidance on setting up a personal profile, please refer to this link.
  3. Create a new RITHIM application. For step-by-step instructions, please refer to Basic Navigation for Researchers.
  4. Fill out the application using the details from your currently approved project. All requested changes must be detailed in Section 1.3 Amendment Details. Ensure that every amendment request is clearly outlined in this section and throughout the application.
  5. When uploading revised documents, ensure version numbers and version dates are updated. For detailed instructions on uploading amended documents, please refer to the FAQ (last question on the FAQ page).

**Please note that all new RITHIM applications undergo a Program Officer pre-review check and may be returned for corrections. Once all required corrections have been addressed and/or appropriately justified, the application will proceed to formal review.  

We offer training sessions covering how to navigate Harmony, manage projects, support with project migration, and any other questions related to the system. Please visit our website for upcoming session dates: https://rithim.ca/harmony/training-videos-supplemental-documents/researcher-training/
