Keep human subjects research moving.

Manage human subjects protocols from submission through approval without relying on paper processes. Use smart forms that adapt to each study, route protocols through the appropriate review path, and keep approvals, amendments, renewals, and related records connected.

KEY FEATURES

Bring the entire protocol lifecycle into one system.

Connect protocol submission, review, approval, amendments, renewals, continuing review, and closeout in one record. Smart forms and automatic routing support the needs of each study while giving researchers and administrators a clearer view of where every protocol stands.

Smart Protocol Forms

Use protocol forms that adapt to the requirements of each study.

Flexible Review Paths

Route protocols through exempt, expedited, or full board review paths.

Committee Meeting and Agenda Tools

Organize committee meetings and agendas as part of the review process.

Amendments and Continuing Review

Manage amendments, continuing review, and closeout on the protocol record.

Automatic Expiration Reminders

Send automatic reminders as protocol expiration dates approach.

Connected Research Records

Link protocols to related funding and conflict of interest disclosure records.

KEY CAPABILITIES

Support every stage of human subjects research review.

Configure Protocol Paths with Smart Forms

Use forms that adapt to each study and help researchers provide the required information without paper-based processes.

Route Protocols Through the Appropriate Review Path

Automatically route submissions through exempt, expedited, or full board review, including an administrator or research compliance professional when appropriate.

Coordinate Committee Meetings and Agendas

Support committee review with meeting and agenda tools connected to each protocol.

Support Renewals and Closeout

Manage renewals and closeout while maintaining a complete protocol history.

Send Automated Reminders and Follow-ups

Notify participants of expirations and required check-ins to keep research and related funding requirements on track.

Connect Protocols with Related Records

Create workflows between protocols, grants, and contracts to help administrators and researchers keep related records up to date.

WHAT IT SOLVES: Replace paper processes with connected review.

Bring submissions, review paths, approvals, amendments, renewals, and closeout into one system. Researchers and administrators can follow each protocol through its lifecycle without piecing together information from paper files or disconnected records.

outcome: Protocols keep moving—and researchers know where they stand.

Smart forms, automatic routing, and connected records give researchers greater visibility into protocol progress. Administrators can manage review activity while maintaining approvals, amendments, renewals, and related information on one record.

SEE IT IN ACTION

A closer look at Human Ethics.

Replace paper processes with connected review.

Protocol submission

Collect study information through smart protocol forms that adapt to the submission.

Review routing

Automatically route protocols according to the institution's desired review process.

Exempt, expedited, and full board review

Support the appropriate path for each protocol within the same system.

Committee meetings and agendas

Organize committee meetings and agenda activity connected to protocol review.

Amendments and continuing review

Manage post-approval changes and continuing review on the existing protocol record.

PROTOCOL LIFECYCLE

One record from submission to closeout.

Begin with a smart protocol form, route the submission through the appropriate review path, and maintain the resulting approval on one record. As the study continues, amendments, renewals, continuing review, and closeout remain connected to the protocol’s history.

This continuity gives researchers and administrators a clearer view of the protocol without requiring them to reconstruct its progress across separate files and systems.

AUDIENCES

Clearer processes for researchers, administrators, and committees.

01

Researchers can submit study information through adaptive forms and see where their protocols stand as they move through review.

02

Administrators can manage routing, approvals, amendments, renewals, continuing review, expiration reminders, and closeout as part of a connected process.

03

Committees can use meeting and agenda tools to support full board review while keeping that activity tied to the relevant protocols.

Together, these connected experiences support a more consistent process for managing human subjects research.
