Re-deployment of eProst Smartforms and Workflow
On March 15th, 2008 the HSRO completed the redeployment of the electronic workflow with the eProst system for all departments. All submissions to the HSRO for review by the University of Miami IRB's will now be submitted electronically. The electronic workflow in eProst offers many benefits to our researchers including faster turnaround time, easier tracking of studies through the review process, incorporated audit trails and the opportunity for improved interaction between study teams, departmental approvers, ancillary committee reviewers, the HSRO staff and IRB members.
All IRB determinations will now be communicated to study teams via system-generated emails and IRB-approved, watermarked documents will be available online through eProst. All members of the study team must now log in individually to complete their Conflict of Interest Disclosure and Principal Investigators must now log in to eProst to submit their study protocols, continuing reports, amendments or reportable events.
PDF versions of the new forms are available on the HSRO Forms page for your reference.
