Updates in eResearch

A new version of eResearch (2.0), the web-based regulatory management system that centralizes the review and approval process for human subjects research applications, is scheduled to go live March 1.  Please be advised that due to the upgrade, it is anticipated that the system will be down February 27-March 1.  

The new system will be particularly helpful for exempt and not-regulated projects – reducing the number of questions by as many as 60.  More information on the new system and training dates will be sent soon.
