Electronic Research Administration
One of Icahn School of Medicine's strategic goals is to replace the paper-intensive management of grant applications and research protocol approvals with a fully paperless electronic research administration. To accomplish this, the school is implementing InfoEd Electronic Research Administration, a suite of integrated third-party tools. InfoEd ERA modules are also available via the secure Web-based Electronic Research Application Portal© (eRAP). Key features of InfoEd ERA modules include:
- Secure Web portal access to tools for grant submissions, protocol submissions, and clinical trials
- Access to grant and protocol preparation and submission where and when investigators need them
- Ability to link proposals, protocols, and trials
- Potential to create processes with common look and feel for investigators and reviewers
Modules that have been implemented to date include:
- Investigator profiles through Genius
- Grant opportunity searches through SPIN
- Electronic development and submission of NIH grant requests (Proposal Development)
- Electronic development and internal submission of all grant requests and renewals to the Mount Sinai Grants and Contracts Office (Proposal Development, Proposal Tracking)
- Electronic development, submission, and board management for Animal Studies with BioSafety development, submission, and management (LAD, LAM, EHSD)
- Electronic management records for Human Subject studies (HSM)
- Clinical trials development and management (CTM)
Modules that are scheduled to be implemented include:
- Electronic development, submission, and board management for Human Subject protocols (HSD, HSM)
- Tracking for proposal and award data (Proposal and Award Tracking)
- Time and Effort Reporting and Management (T&E)
