Research Opportunities Program Portal Instructions

Before Getting Started

  • You must log in to the Research Opportunities Program (ROP) Portal using your utoronto.ca email address.
  • When you submit a proposal, you are responsible for it until the end of the process on the portal. This means that if a proposal receives a conditional approval that requires edits, the person who submitted the original proposal also needs to submit the updated copy. This individual would also typically upload completed ROP student contracts.
