PROJECT UPDATE - JUNE 2020

HIGHLIGHTS


IRBaccess to be restricted to Full Board submissions effective July 20, 2020

UT Research Management Suite - IRB Go-Live planned for August, 2020

The module for management of non-funded research agreements soft-launched on April 20th and has already been used by researchers and support staff across campus to submit new agreement requests.

As of June 1st, all new non-funded research agreements are submitted through the Agreements Module which replaces the RMS Material Transfer database or email/phone initiation of agreement submissions.

Login to Agreements with your UT EID.

WHAT'S NEXT
IRB Module development and testing are underway! In February, we met with stakeholders to assess requirements and began designing the solution to address the many different needs of researchers, lab managers, students and compliance staff.

Scheduled for Go-Live in mid-August 2020, this solution will replace IRBaccess as the submission portal for review of all human studies research conducted at UT Austin.
On July 20, 2020 the IRBaccess system will be restricted to actions for Full Board studies only. All new exempt and expedited studies need to be submitted prior to this date or preferably held until they can be submitted in the new IRB module in August. This time will allow us to complete migration of all existing study records to the UT Research Management Suite. For additional news and forthcoming FAQs and Training Resources please visit our website. For continued guidance on how to submit study documents during system migration, please monitor the ORSC Human Subjects webpage and read more in the upcoming IRB newsletter.
UPCOMING EVENTS
UT Austin researchers and support staff are invited to attend informational webinars in the month of August. Please register for one of the UT Research Management Suite - IRB Informational Webinars below to learn more about the new integrated research solution and help you get started with your submissions.
A special thanks from the Project Team to all of our collaborators!

None of our progress would be possible without the support and efforts of numerous individuals, departments, centers, and offices across campus. We especially want to recognize the leadership and staff of the Offices of Sponsored Projects and Industry Engagement for their tireless commitment to the design, development, testing, and launch-preparation for Agreements. Additionally, we are very appreciative for the continued engagement with the leadership of the Research Support and Compliance Office – in particular, the IRB Team – as we prepare for the upcoming launch of UT Research Management Suite - IRB. Finally, the insights provided by researchers and support staff colleagues who form our working groups have greatly improved these new research management solutions. We are grateful for your continued support and participation.
