Huron IRB + hSCRO

The Office of Research is pleased to share that  Huron IRB 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 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.

How You Can Help

  • Help us give the new system a name!
    For example: UCLA calls their IRB system - “Bruin IRB.”
  • We need  "Project Champions"
    UCI Colleagues will join in guided tours of Huron IRB, and periodic meetings through adoption of the system.
