The mission of the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) is to protect the rights, welfare and privacy of all individuals participating in research sponsored by the 果冻影院 and Froedtert Hospital. The HRPP supports the 果冻影院/Froedtert Hospital Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review all research studies involving human subjects for safety, compliance with regulations, and ethical standards. The HRPP provides guidance and resources for the 果冻影院/Froedtert Hospital IRBs, investigators, study team members, and the entire 果冻影院/Froedtert Hospital community. Study-specific consultations, training for investigators and study team members, and quality improvement activities are part of the HRPP mission.

The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) forms the foundation for effective self-regulation of animal care and use and is responsible for reviewing all protocols involving live vertebrate animals, ensuring compliance with federal regulations, inspecting animal facilities and laboratories, and overseeing training and educational programs. The overall role of the IACUC is to ensure the humane care and use of animals.

The IACUC provides assistance to investigators in fulfilling their obligation to plan and conduct animal experiments in accordance with the highest scientific, humane, and ethical principles. The Committee has several important functions, including:

• Review of the institution’s program for humane care and use of animals every six months
• Inspection of the animal facility and research laboratories using animals every six months
• Preparation of a report of the Program Review and Facility Inspection and its submission to the designated Institutional Official, identifying any significant deficiencies the committee judges to be a threat to the health and safety of the animals
• Investigation of concerns involving the care and use of animals at our institution resulting from concerns or complaints by Medical College employees or the public
• Advisement and recommendation of improvements in the animal care program, facilities, or personnel training to the Institutional Official
• Review and approval, withholding of approval or suspension of animal use activities (Animal Use Applications)

Since membership on the Committee is on a voluntary, part-time basis, the IACUC Office staff handle the day-to-day affairs of the Committee. The staff receives, reviews, and distributes all submissions to the IACUC, such as animal use applications, annual reviews, amendments, and animal ordering.

The Research Systems team administrates and supports campus systems, including eBridge, OnCore, and Payments.

eBridge is a web-based software solution that facilitates submission of applications for funding, and research. In addition, it tracks research related training, ensuring regulatory compliance. Research Systems designs, develops, enhances, maintains, trains, and supports the eBridge application through collaboration with Office of Research Units, the Office of Sponsored Programs, 果冻影院 Information Systems, and Corporate Compliance.

OnCore is an enterprise clinical trial management software system. Functions include protocol and subject life-cycle management, subject safety management, study calendars, management of financials, electronic data capture and management, paperless committee functionality (SRC, DSMC), ownership of the study information portal and custom reporting. Research Systems supports OnCore with day-to-day help desk service, installation of system upgrades, and new project roll-outs. 

Payments allows research coordinators and other support staff to log in and authorize a safe, secure payment for a clinical research participant directly to a 果冻影院 Compensation Card, reducing the time and effort of processing paper checks. Research Systems supports Payments with day-to-day help desk service.
