Medical Research Information System (iMEDRIS)
What is iMedRIS (iRIS)?
iRIS, also known as iMedRIS, is the standard for integrated Medical Research Information System. iRIS is an IRB Compliance Management System that support the needs of researchers and for increased compliance and the protection of human subject research.
The system enables the research team to submit its regulatory forms electronically to the review board where the board triages and processes the submission, and reviews for ethical and regulatory accuracy. Any issues that are found during the review process are sent back for corrections to the research team. This process continues until the submission is approved.
IRIS saves time, reduces compliance risk, enhances protection of human subjects, streamlines process and workflow, enhances data security, access is available anytime/anywhere, department chair sign-off within the system for protocols (IRB applications).
Who needs an iRIS account?
Qualified researchers who are conducting research at Saint Luke's Health System will be required to have access to submit all new protocol (IRB application) through the iRIS system starting January 31, 2020.
Where may I access iMedRIS?
iRIS may be accessed directly through Citrix. Many of you may already have the link in your applications (see below).
How may I request an iMedRIS account through eRequest?
What does this mean for my current studies?
Moving forward, all submissions sent in after January 31st will have to be submitted through iRIS. If you have a modification, amendment, or continuing review, etc., you can use the paper application until further notice
