While the initial launch for the Sponsored Projects module was delayed, ROs are able to help navigate the system. For specific questions about the Sponsored Projects Module, please contact Jamie Baker.

Human Subjects Research

Cayuse Human Ethics, or Cayuse IRB, allows users to create and submit research protocols to the WMU Institutional Review Board.

Cayuse IRB includes:

Electronic submission to replace the paper-based process
Autofill features and user-friendly forms
Online access to all recorded IRB projects
Links for guidance on human subject research

Implementation of Cayuse IRB allows migration of Legacy Studies and creation of new research protocols.
