Huron IRB + Safety (hSCRO)

The Office of Research is pleased to share that  Huron will replace the current IRB and hSCRO 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 HRP implemented KRP to replace a 20-year-old homegrown system. With the growth of our research enterprise, we determined that a more robust electronic IRB and hSCRO system is needed. After a thorough analysis, we have selected Huron.

Huron is a highly reputable electronic solution. Users characterize Huron as stable, reliable, and efficient. Furthermore, it is widely used by our commercial IRB partners, and research-intensive institutions of higher education, including UCLA, USC, CHLA, and soon, UCSF.
