The Coeus IRB (Institute Review Board) and IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) modules were developed to incorporate the best practices of institutes with complex hospital, clinical, and medical research management experience. The modules enable research institutions to maximize efficiency in the protocol application, and review the process by connecting the researcher, the IRB or IACUC, and other key institutional authorities charged with the protection of animals and human research volunteers.

Maintainers can set up and maintain review committees, including the composition of the committees and the committee schedules. Faculty can prepare, submit, and track protocols in a secure environment. The application also allows investigators to create and submit protocols to a committee, and then receive communication during the review process throughout the protocol life cycle.

Because the protocol can be linked within the application, pre-award ( Proposal Development, Institute Proposal), and post-award (Award) departments can easily access the protocol and grant information.

The Coeus IRB will be available in KC in late summer 2010 and the IACUC functionality will be released in early summer 2011.
