Compliance Systems Integration OSR-Evanston Quarterly Network Tuesday, November 19, 2013 Sara Krentz Business Systems Analyst Associate
Purpose • Increase compliance by directly connecting IRB and ACUC protocols with the sponsored projects they represent • Oversight will be easier • Allowability of costs • Project shutdown • Data can be analyzed on a broad scale
Phase I • Ability to search for IRB and ACUC protocols in InfoEd Approvals tab in proposals and link the search results to the proposal record • Approved dates, review status, etc feed from IRB/ACUC systems directly • Ability to do quick lookups in InfoEd
Phase I • Converting data currently in systems • Data will be available in reporting systems • Expiring protocols on active projects • Proposals which have human or animal subjects but don’t have protocols linked • Etc!
Limitations • Approval letter is not included in the data feed, so will still need to be retrieved from the PI or from IRB/ACUC directly • Linkage cannot be made from IRB/ACUC protocol end, only from InfoEd
Phase II • After IRB and ACUC systems are upgraded • Will be able to search InfoEd proposals from the protocol entry side and link • Link will flow back into InfoEd proposal pages as protocol information is updated • IRB and ACUC offices will have InfoEd data easily available in their systems
Phase III? • Reports • Approval letters • Etc!
Availability • Café and InfoEd setting timeline for technical implementation • Could be week of Thanksgiving
In the meantime… • Access to IRB system • Benefits include ability to look up statuses, assist with reminding PIs to renew protocols, pull approval letters • Contact IRB about options
Why Deadlines? • OSR uses deadlines to prioritize/manage workload • Follow up on proposals with deadlines already passed • Follow up on proposals with soon upcoming deadlines • Ultimately more accurate data available in InfoEd
Updates to InfoEd Setup Questions • No longer able to say ‘no deadline’ • This is already true on Routing Form • Deadline will have to be entered to complete Setup Questions • Text to give some guidance on deadline entry
Types of Deadlines • Electronic • Default value, used in majority of cases • Postmark • If mailing, and deadline based on when put in mail • Receipt • If mailing and must arrive by the deadline • Target • If no firm deadline
Target Deadlines • Use this if the sponsor has not given a hard deadline • Use this for after-the-fact proposals with no deadline • If no deadline information exists, enter a date 5 business days or further from when proposal is ready for review by OSR
