UCR uses cloud-based research applications by Kuali to standardize the processes for research proposals, funding, administration, and documentation across various departments. UCR users can see their existing Kuali protocols/applications/tasks and submit applications for new/renewed/amended protocols by logging in to the Kauli system at ucr.kuali.co/.

The following information is provided to assist those using Kuali applications. Additional training resources can be found in Kuali's Knowledge Base.

Institutional Review Board (IRB) Applications - Human Subjects Research

UCR’s Kuali IRB Protocols submission system will be live starting July 24, 2023. 

The implementation of the new Kuali IRB system will require a transition period from our current IRB review and approval processes. This will include a migration of currently approved studies as well as pending applications into Kuali. Please refer to the following transition timeline:

• July 10: Researchers should submit any new submissions (new applications, amendment requests, continuing renewals) using the current Word/PDF forms to the IRB office no later than July 10, 2023. After July 10, 2023, there will be a pause on new IRB submissions until July 24, 2023. 
  • Please note: This pause does not apply to submission of reportable events (e.g., non-compliance, protocol deviations, unanticipated problems). The UCR IRB requires that these events are reported to the IRB within 10 working days of discovery.

• July 11-23: IRB office will be migrating current active and pending applications into the Kuali system. Please note: For IRB applications where researchers have not responded to the IRB’s review comments after 6 months, these studies will not be migrated.

• July 24: Kuali IRB protocols will be live. Any new submissions/requests should be submitted using the Kuali protocols.
