Compliance Simplified
Clemson University has deployed the InfoEd IRB, IBC, IACUC compliance modules to enable a more organized and efficient web-based electronic protocol submission for Principal Investigators and to reduce administration turnaround time.
Commonly utilized by many top tier research universities, this system will save time with compliance tasks by allowing Principal Investigators to focus on their research while helping the institution manage risk more effectively.
Some InfoEd features include:
- Principal Investigator electronic submission of new applications, application modification, incident reporting and project progress reporting
- Dynamic eForms that minimize what must be submitted
- Principal Investigator management and tracking of all protocol submissions
- Automated monitoring of and notification of submissions, amendment requests and continuing review due dates
- Tracks complete submission history
- New eForms will be updated in real-time, removing the need to acquire the newest document version

How will my old paper protocol be processed now?
Each compliance program has a process:
- IBC - If you submitted a paper protocol then it will remain paper until it expires this includes Amendments and Continuing Reviews. All new protocols with their subsequent Amendments and Continuing Reviews must be electronically using InfoEd.
- IRB - If you submitted a paper protocol then the IRB Office will automatically convert it into an electronic InfoEd record for you. Amendments, Progress Reports and DA Extensions are submitted using InfoEd.
- IACUC - If you submitted a paper protocol then it will be converted into an electronic record. You will give a new similar protocol number (AUP numbers are longer now... AUP2021-XYZ vs AUP2021-0XYZ). Your existing approval letter is still valid. You will be notified when this conversion happens. Once converted, Amendments, Annual Reviews are submitted electronically using InfoEd.
