Research Affairs: Researcher's Alert for January 4, 2018

COI for IRB PROCESS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Amy Casey — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 09:39:04 -0800

Conflict of Interest disclosure and training must be completed for all research personnel involved in the design, conduct or reporting of a study prior to the study being reviewed, per federal requirements. For full board review this means a study will only be assigned to the IRB agenda once all COI requirements are met.

New eTransmittal and eRouting for approval of all grant submissions

Cindy Dickson — Mon, 13 Nov 2017 14:06:56 -0800

In early October the Pre Award team began testing with a select of approvers our new eTransmittal and eRouting for approvals of grant submissions. Our goal is to make grant submissions more efficient for everyone by eliminating paper transmittals, hand signatures and reducing the number of emails our approvers receive. January 2018 is our target date to have all approvers trained and using the new electronic approval process.

Approvers include investigator, chair (department head), school business official, dean and institutional official.

If you have questions or would like a brief tutorial contact Pre Award at rapreaward@llu.edu or x44589, ask to speak a Pre Award team member.
