Ethics Review System

Clarity

• Reviewers can record comments alongside a specific question, providing applicants with clear feedback about required changes.
• Amendments and additions are tracked and highlighted, enabling reviewers to save time when re-reviewing applications.
• Reviewers and administrators have a personalised dashboard showing precisely what actions they need to take for any given application.

Efficiency

• Applications can be completed by a group of authors, with all co-applicants able to have edit privileges.
• Statistics such as current review workload and average turnaround time help administrators to assign the most suitable reviewers.
• The notifications feature, with optional email alerts, promptly informs users when they have actions to carry out.

Flexibility

• The process each application follows is determined automatically based on the risk assigned to it, with the option to use separate routes for staff and students.
• The questions on the application form can be customised to fit your institution’s review process.
• The system is web-based, allowing users to have access wherever they are and using both desktop and mobile devices.
• The appearance of the system can be customised to share the branding of your institution.

Security

• The system is hosted on a secure cloud platform which is compliant with data protection legislation and uses servers located in the UK.
• We can integrate with your institution's IT services so that users are able to log in with familiar details.
• We frequently update the system to ensure the safety of your data, which is stored securely and accessed using encrypted channels.
