The main objective of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) module is to ensure high quality, complaint reviews with a comprehensive and extensible IRB solution. The solution combines policy expertise and human research protection best practices with electronic workflow design patterns.

• Designed to meet AAHRPP accreditation standards
• Eliminates worry keeping up with regulatory changes
• Provides 100% support for the entire study lifecycle
• Eliminates paper processes
• Speeds collaborative application preparation by study teams and reduces delays in routing and review
• Accelerates processing of meeting discussions and decisions into compliant records and correspondences
• Keeps everyone notified of important milestones and the need to attend to their part of the process
• Simplifies required communications
• Ensures the study team uses only the latest, approved consent form and your own watermarks
• Manages the audit trail for all document versions
• Makes the system easy to use “out of the box”
• Cross-system sharing of information reduces errors and compliance risk and facilitates rapid access to remote data
• Simplifies eIRB setup and ongoing operations for IT-overburdened organizations

The main objective of the Grants module is to provide a customizable transmittal sheet and online budgets that can implement institutional policies. Electronic routing for internal review, notifications, and error checking ensure transparency and a first-time successful transmission. Post-award, the system streamlines modifications and annual renewals, supports sub-recipient monitoring, and enables full integration with existing accounting systems.

• Standardizes budget preparation and review
• Minimizes sponsored research review time
• Opportunity coverage for NIH, NSF, DoD, and more
• Eliminates redundant data entry and improves collaboration between sponsored research and finance
• Expedites award setup and improves financial accuracy
• Transparent award change management
• Ensures consistent processes and timely reminders to researchers and staff for pending work items
• Provides management visibility into research portfolio demographics and financial planning metrics
• Management of budgets, milestones, contract terms, sub-recipients, and compliance status
