Migration of Ethics-Approved Projects from the Bannatyne REB


 Testing of the migration of ethics documents for ethics-approved projects to the RITHIM Harmony system is currently underway. Please be advised of the following important dates with respect to the final import of projects: 

  • October 29, 2025: last day the Bannatyne office will be accepting follow-on applications (e.g., amendments, safety updates, major deviations, etc.) for active/approved research.  
    • Any follow-on applications submitted after this date will be returned.
    • For annual approvals, please plan ahead to ensure you remain compliant.  Based on your ethics expiry date, plan your submission to the Bannatyne office prior to October 29th or in Harmony after November 10th.  For projects expiring during this period, approvals will be generated as they are received and reviewed. This means your next ethics expiry date may change.  Please check your certificate to confirm your expiry date.
  • November 10, 2025: Harmony system is open for validation of imported projects and subsequent follow-on applications for University of Manitoba applicants.
  • November 24, 2025: Deadline for responses to tabled applications to the Bannatyne office
  • December 5, 2025: Deadline for responses to conditional approvals to the Bannatyne office
 Also be reminded that for In-flight projects, new applications by UM applicants through historical processes to PHRPC and health system organizations will end December 31, 2025. Non-UM post-secondary institutions will be notified once delegation of health research reviews by their institution occurs and new applications through historical processes will stop.
