Coming soon! Kuali Protocols for IRB

Fri, 28 Feb 2020 13:01:09 -0500

The ORPC team is excited to share updates about our ongoing efforts with Kuali Protocols for IRB. As we’ve been announcing, UMBC is continuing to transition its research related processes into the Kuali system.

We are finalizing the configuration of the IRB Protocols module to mirror current human subjects research use protocol application processes. Using your UMBC logon credentials, take a look at what we’ve accomplished in the current version of the IRB module in the Kuali Protocol Sandbox (scroll to the bottom of the page for that link)

Another part of the transition is uploading currently approved IRB protocols to the production version of the Kuali IRB module – this is what’s used when protocols Go Live. This upload will include all current versions of the application, recruitment materials, questionnaires/measure and consent documents. Once we create this legacy file, we’ll send you an email with links to review and approve these protocols in Kuali. Once done, this protocol is active in the Kuali IRB system.

Finally, we’re continuing our efforts for a created a protocol user guide that provides you steps to create an IRB protocol in Kuali. The user guide will be available soon here.
