IRB - Institutional Review Board

Biomedical and behavioral research study volumes are growing at unprecedented rates, making the job of human subject protection more challenging than ever—a small Institutional Review Board (IRB) office database can no longer keep up with the torrent of data needed by administrators and researchers. An Internet submissions system for IRB applications can help: data entry is instantly distributed across all research teams, which speeds review and approval processes for everyone involved. Click Commerce's eResearch Portal simplifies the way researchers submit applications, eliminates routine errors and alerts Principal Investigator (PI) teams of approaching deadlines. Enhance your existing approval process with state-of-the-art Internet software and drop proposal routing time to zero. Help applications get assembled correctly the first time and leave nothing misplaced during processing. With eResearch Portal, team members on campus or off can view where their application stands at any moment, day or night. And once the IRB successfully processes applications electronically, institutions can expand support to other complex review processes such as Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC), Safety Committees and Grants and Contracts. eResearch Portal is a production-proven platform for a multiphase automation strategy.
