It’s never been easier to ensure ethical human subjects research with 100% electronic protocol preparation, submission, and routing.
Compliance Management / Human Ethics
Better transparency and more collaboration across the full lifecycle of IRB protocols
Accelerate reviews
Decrease review times with automated notifications and side-by-side submission comparisons.
Improve transparency and collaboration
Track progress with electronic routing, system alerts, and role-based dashboards.
Reduce noncompliance risk
Smart forms for submissions ensure protocols are appropriately designed and flagged for necessary approvals.
Faster, more compliant human protocol management
Centralized protocol management
Human Ethics’ centralized electronic storage keeps all protocols searchable in one location, not dispersed across paper files, spreadsheets, and emails.
Simplified protocol design
Smart forms guide researchers as they design their protocols for faster submissions and ensure all potential compliance issues are flagged and addressed.
Role-based dashboards
Researchers, administrators, and reviewers can easily view pipeline and protocol statuses and effectively collaborate on submissions, reviews, and approvals, all from a secure single sign-on.
More efficient meeting management
Spend less time on meeting minutes and agenda preparation with easy, up-to-date access to current protocol statuses and other essential information.
Robust reporting
Reporting capabilities provide insight into all human subject research activities, keeping administrators and leadership informed of higher-risk studies and enabling data-driven decision-making.
System integrations
Human Ethics integrates with your existing systems, including Sponsored Projects record linking for easier congruence checks and CITI training record transmissions to automatically confirm researcher certifications.
Smart forms for speedier protocol development
Keep researchers happy by saving them valuable time developing protocols with configurable smart forms:
- Familiar form templates developed with an AAHRPP-accredited partner
- Intuitive drag-and-drop builder
- Ability to revert to previous drafts
- Skip logic and conditional branching allow for answering questions relevant to the study
80% decrease in decision times
Minimize the wait time for IRB approvals with streamlined electronic workflows for submissions and reviews. Automated reminders and enhanced transparency keep everyone informed of proposal statuses so that nothing falls through the cracks.
“I’ve been following our metrics since we’ve implemented [Human Ethics], and our time to decision has gone down.”
“The Human Ethics dashboard is fantastic. The review trail allows us to see if something is hung up and where. In the past, it was unheard of to turn around something in 48 hours. Now we can do that. It’s really that much of a game-changer.”
“I think it’s very smooth to operate… I really like the setup for how you can edit and build conditional submission forms.”
“Our exempt review turnaround time went from about three weeks to on average, four days. We were turning around 25% of our exempt applications within 24 hours.”
