Manage Your Animal Research Protocols
Smartely and Efficiently

Effortless Submission & Routing

Submit protocols directly into the system, where they are immediately routed to the committee manager. This eliminates scattered email communications and ensures seamless tracking.

Determine Review Level Before Scheduling Meetings

Distribute protocols to all voting members to determine the appropriate review level. When no member requests Full Committee Review, assign protocols to designated reviewers for efficient processing.

Real-Time Review & Feedback

Reviewers can access protocols, supporting documents, previous comments, and PI responses all in one place. They can provide feedback directly in the system, with revised sections clearly highlighted for easier review.

Auto-Generated Agendas & Minutes

Generate meeting agendas automatically. Capture minutes in real-time during meetings and record votes instantly.

Version Control with Complete Transparency

Track every protocol revision with full version control. View original submissions, revisions after feedback, approved versions, and amendments for full transparency.

Seamless Integration with Animal Ordering

Sync approved protocols directly with animal facility management systems. When PIs order animals, the system automatically checks if the species is approved and verifies approved quantities.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Automatically log protocol activity, including submissions, assignments, reviews, comments, meetings, votes, approvals, and amendments, all with timestamps and user identifications.

Instant Report Generation

Generate detailed reports in seconds, providing you with a complete history of protocol activities. Easily access reports for audits, protocol statuses, or specific compliance needs, ensuring you're always prepared for inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to implement the system?

Most institutions go live within 6-8 weeks, depending on the number of active protocols being migrated and any customizations needed for your forms and workflows.

Can the system match our institution's specific IACUC policies?

Yes. We tailor the system to meet your institution’s specific IACUC requirements, whether it is specific pain category assessments, veterinary consultation needs, or training verification.

How does the system integrate with facility management and animal ordering?

Once a protocol is approved, the approval details automatically flow into your facility management system, ensuring that animal orders align with approved protocol quantities.

What happens if protocols are revised after committee feedback?

Every revision creates a new version, with changes clearly highlighted. You can compare different versions side-by-side to see exactly what’s been updated, ensuring full visibility throughout the review process.

How do I generate reports for audits?


All protocol activities are automatically logged, including submissions, comments, revisions, and approvals. Reports can be generated instantly, showing everything from Category E protocols to amendments approved last quarter.
