New eProtocol Supports Stem Cell Research

Web View | Print View

By Minh Nguyen

Researchers at Stanford are familiar with the Animal Subjects and Human Subjects eProtocol web applications. This fall, a new eProtocol application to support the use of stem cells in research goes live: eProtocol SCRO.

The State of California requires that all human stem cell research be reviewed and approved by a Stem Cell Research Oversight (SCRO) committee. The new eProtocol Stem Cell module will facilitate the submission, review, storage, and retrieval of stem cell research protocols.

Because stem cell research often involves human subject and animal subject protocols, the SCRO module allows for data sharing with the existing modules. The eProtocol SCRO replaces the existing paper-based process and offers a consistent interface for investigators and SCRO committee reviewers alike.

For further information about the new eProtocol SCRO web application, please see the Research Compliance Office Web site or contact Kathy McClelland ( kathy.mcclelland@stanford.edu).
