Application OvervieweResearch at Emory will automate and streamline the current workflow.
• Paper based submission of protocols makes for a cumbersome review process
• High cost associated with document duplication and shipping
• Redundant requests for protocol status
• Manual workflow management processes has a potential audit trail risk
• Limited scale with current desktop database repository
Current Condition Future State with eResearch at Emory
•Web browser-based submission of protocols•Secure access for authorized users•System customizable workflow routing, approval, and documentation processes•Virtual document storage •Centralized meeting management tools and email notifications•Online real-time 24x7 system access for protocol management•Improved information sharing across committees; e.g. OSP, EHSO, COI etc.

We are targeting early summer 2006 to implement eIRB for new study submissions.

eResearch at Emory Future
• Full implementation of all modules: eIRB, eIACUC, eEHSO and eSOMCOI
• Ability to share information with other Emory research areas
• Expandable management reporting repository• Links to appropriate Emory, federal, state, foundations and private charity websites
• Enhanced compliance requirements tracking resulting in reduced audit risk
• Availability of historical information on active protocols
• New reporting capabilities and reporting access availability
The application is a component of a enterprise-wide electronic research administration system.
