Announcing Huron IRB: Coming to UCI in 2025!
The Office of Research is pleased to share that Huron IRB will replace the current IRB and h-SCRO e-submission system (Kuali Research Protocols – KRP).
Our anticipated go-live is scheduled for Fall 2025.
Why are we making this change?
In September 2021 UCI implemented KRP to replace a 20-year-old home grown system. With the growth of our research enterprise, we have determined that a more robust IRB system is needed. After a thorough analysis, we have selected Huron IRB. Huron IRB is a highly reputable electronic solution. Users characterize Huron IRB as stable, reliable, and efficient. Further, it is widely used by our commercial IRB partners, and research-intensive institutions of higher education, including UCLA, USC, CHLA, and soon, UCSF.
We want to hear from you!
- We plan to seek your feedback on what we should name this new system.
- For example: UCLA calls their IRB system – “Bruin IRB.”
- We will recruit Project Champions.
- UCI Colleagues will join in guided tours of Huron IRB, and periodic meetings.
- Should you have any questions, or if you are interested in being a Project Champion, please reach out to:
