New IRB Submission Process is Coming Soon! – June 2025

The Office of Research Compliance is in the process of transitioning to a new electronic system. Cayuse will replace the current way IRB (Institutional Review Board) applications are submitted for review.

Cayuse provides the following features:

  • The system features smart form logic (hides/shows questions based on your responses).
  • The system will sync with your UMaine CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) training account.
  • You can view the status of your protocols. Whether it’s under pre-review with the IRB staff or is waiting to be assigned to an IRB member, you can see where your studies are in the review process.
  • When you submit a modification, all the changes are automatically highlighted for the reviewers to see.

More information is coming soon!
