February 2019 Project Update

The RAMP ACUC module has launched.  Researchers and administrators can now develop and submit Animal Use Protocols in the system to take advantage of the electronic submission and review process. 

How can you learn more about how to use RAMP?

  • Attend one of many Protocol Development Workshops being offered – dates, locations and registration instructions can be accessed within the training section of this website
  • Access the ACUC Researcher Guide (available in RAMP within the Help Center tab)
  • Review the ACUC FAQs provided on this website
  • For assistance completing the SmartForm (online protocol forms) or for technical assistance, email ramp-acuc@fsu.edu

How can you communicate questions or concerns about RAMP?

This month we will begin the implementation process for the IRB module.  Meetings will be held with IRB staff members to view demonstrations of the system, make comparisons of system functionality and current business processes and establish system requirements.  We remain on schedule to deploy this module in June 2019.
