ORIS Projects

The Granite Project

The Comparative Medicine facility management and protocol submission and review system will serve the research community by expediting the creation and review of studies while better utilizing infrastructure and controlling costs. The .net web, wireless and Oracle architecture will allow research protocols to be created and reviewed anywhere while increasing the quality of Comparative Medicine by accurately capturing all facets of the study.

The eIRB Project

eIRB is Northwestern University's Web-based System for submitting and Tracking IRB Submissions. It allows for electronic submissions and related documents and accessed anywhere at anytime, and tracks submissions through the IRB approval process. eIRB has been launched in Evanston. It will replace the current IRB system NUIRBS and improve process ease and efficiency. Currently, Brenda Bryant from ORIS are providing IT support on the system.

The ISIS Project

The Office for Research Safety and Office for Research Information Systems are developing a Web-based system for tracking research safety at Northwestern University. The new system will replace the paper-based "Safety Plan" for all researchers. It will replace the numerous forms that researchers formerly filled out by hand. The University will then be able to more accurately track potential hazards in the labs.
