What IRB training do I need to take?

Human subjects training is required for all investigators, faculty, staff, and students conducting research with human subjects at the University of Arizona. There are two CITI training options for investigators to choose from, depending on the type of research:

  1. IRB: Biomedical Research Investigators (required for FDA-regulated research or projects involving accessing medical records); OR
  2. IRB: Social & Behavioral Research Investigators

Visit our Training Requirements webpage for more information.

How can I search UAR for an investigator with both a primary and preferred name?

If you work with an investigator who has a preferred name in addition to their primary legal name, and who may have had proposals, awards, negotiations or subawards under both names, use the vertical line ‘or’ operator, “|”, in lookup screens accessed via Common Tasks in the UAR left hand navigation pane. This will allow a search for all names the person might have used in past records.

In the past, UAR only populated a person’s legal/primary name as it was entered into the UAccess Employee system. As of the January 25, 2022 UAccess Research (UAR) system update, both primary legal name and preferred name are brought into UAR, with the default being preferred name. As a result of added flexibility, people who have a preferred name or who have changed their name over time may have older records under a different name.

Example: john den|ja*den finds John R Den, Johnna Alden, OR Jack Den, Jason Hayden.

Why don't late night proposal approvals update the UAR dashboard?

There is an overnight process that runs behind the scenes in UAccess Research (UAR) to make sure dashboard cards like “Proposals not routing,” “Proposals routing to me” and “Proposal Workload Assignments” are updated with the latest changes. This process usually begins a little after midnight AZ time. Proposals approved after midnight may not be reflected in the UAR dashboard cards that day, they will update with the next overnight update.

If a looming deadline cannot wait for the next overnight update, please email Sponsored Projects Services (SPS) at UARhelp@list.arizona.edu to request assistance. Include the Proposal number or UAR document number in the request.

UAccess Research System Update - New Features, Available Training, and Office Hours

3 years ago

Get to Know the New Kuali Research SaaS

New Features, Training, and Office Hours - January 2022   

The UAccess Research System (Kuali Research under the hood) will be updated to Kuali Research Software-as-a-Service on January 25, 2022. You will find below an overview of the new features and training opportunities available to you.

New Features

  • Immediate updates: The University will receive security updates and improved system functionality in real time. 
  • No more VPN: Say goodbye to your VPN woes. You will be able to log in with your UA NetID, password, and NetID+ authentication without having to connect through VPN. Great for those places where VPN access might be blocked.
  • Fewer routing stops: Lead unit pre-approval will no longer be required. Proposals will route simultaneously and immediately to investigators and department approvers. 
  • Search everything: Search functionality just got a whole lot better. Don’t worry about knowing the correct field for your search term to achieve the best results. The dynamic Search Records feature scours all available fields for your specified words or numbers.
  • Convenient dashboard: The new dashboard will increase transparency by providing greater visibility to work in progress. The “proposals not yet routing” feature enables reviewers / approvers to see which proposals include them in the route path and will be routed to them in the near future, whether they are the Lead Unit or not. 

Available Training Sessions and Office Hours

Take advantage of one of many live training sessions with Sponsored Projects to become familiar with the new system look, feel, and navigation, and to understand features and processes. We’ll also hold office hours where you can bring specific questions and challenges to be addressed by our experts.

Orientation/Overview of Changes (new features, new layout/navigation)

Proposal Development (proposal creation, submission, and routing)

PI/Co-I/Key Personnel (review, approval, coordination of changes)

Department/College/Responsible Unit (review, approval, coordination of changes)

Office Hours: To register for office hours, click on the link below to see available days and times. Once registered, you will receive an email confirmation with an ical invite along with either the in-person room location or the zoom link. Our registration tool has quotas for each session and choices only appear if there is room. If all sessions in a given week are full, you will be given the option to join a waitlist.
