GETTING STARTED WITH RESEARCH
Advarra Systems
Indiana University and IU Health have chosen Advarra’s research systems to manage many elements of clinical studies. “Clinical study” refers to any prospective research study using human subjects to evaluate biomedical or health-related outcomes. This term encompasses interventional and expanded access trials as well as observational studies requiring informed consent and long-term adverse event reporting.
Depending on the services your study will require, completion of training modules may be required before access is granted to these systems, such as OnCore, eReg, Participant Payments, etc.
- OnCore
OnCore is the single clinical research management system used to manage clinical studies, which includes tasks like billing, enrollment, and visit/event tracking, to name a few. If your study has been deemed a clinical study, as defined above, it is required to be entered into OnCore. This means you will need to receive OnCore training prior to using the system.
To schedule training for OnCore, please reach out to the Oncore team by emailing oncore@iu.edu. You may also visit the OnCore page on the OCR website.
- eRegulatory
If you would like to use the eRegulatory platform, please visit Explore eRegulatory and eConsent Options.
- Participant Payments
If you would like to use the Participant Payments platform, please visit Department Setup of Participant Payments.
- IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSCCC) Additional Information
For Cancer Center trials, there may be additional training and/or documentation requirements within the OnCore system. Please reach out to the Cancer Center SRC Coordinator below for more information. Additionally, please note that eReg accounts may be required for Principal Investigators involved in trials with Cancer Center patients, such as those with Clinical Trials Office (CTO) involvement. Please visit Submit for Cancer Center Scientific Review Committee (SRC) or contact the SRC Coordinator (SRCC) at crosrc@iu.edu for more information.
