Office for Research We promote, facilitate and enhance research
Office for ResearchKey Information Technology Initiatives • eIRB – on line human subjects research protocol submission and review system • ISIS – web based research safety plan • Granite – animal facility management; on line animal protocol submission and review system • Info Ed – research proposals created, routed and submitted electronically • Data Warehouse – a central repository of data against which reports are delivered and/or created using the COGNOS business intelligence (BI) tool • NUPortal – single point access to on line services
Office for ResearchInformation Technology Strategy • Migrate from manual to all online processes, creating an integrated eRA (electronic research administration) environment • Unify a variety of systems, integrate, configure for ease of use, reduce redundancies • Foster a “do science” environment at Northwestern University
