Requirements for electronic system or solution purchase

Andy Johns, Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Research, has issued a notice regarding requirement for approval for clinical research support systems. The notice requires that any unit which proposes to purchase or implement any electronic system or solution for the support of clinical research must request (in advance) approval for the proposed solution.

Requests should be submitted in writing to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and will be reviewed to ensure that the use of the proposed solution is consistent with efforts already in process and that the proposed solution is deemed appropriate and compliant for the intended use.

This requirement is being implemented to promote compliance and efficiency through standardization.

The SOM CRSO continues to work closely with the Offices of the Vice Chancellor for Research to evaluate and implement new electronic solutions, including DocuSign for electronic signatures and consent.
