Huron Research Suite Transitions to “RAMP”
We are excited to announce that our research system has been re-branded with a new name specifically for FSU. Project team members from across campus submitted and voted on creative name ideas and ultimately selected RAMP, which stands for “Research Administration Management Portal”. A project website has been developed to share pertinent information with the research community as we navigate through different phases of the project. The website will be the central source of information about the project and updates will continue to be provided on the website and within the Research Newsletter. On this site, you can find general information, project governance, the implementation timeline and announcements. Frequently asked questions will also be posted to the project website in the near future for your convenience.
During the course of October, Huron continued their work on the development of the ACUC module to meet FSU’s requirements. The development phase should conclude in mid-November and the modified system will be available for testing to ensure it is working properly as designed. The system will result in an electronic process for the development, submission and review of ACUC protocols. The project remains on course for the estimated go-live date of January 31, 2019.
Principal Investigators are encouraged to participate in one hour sessions to test drive the system beginning November 14th in an effort to provide essential feedback to the project team. These sessions are scheduled for the following dates and locations.

Training will be provided at various locations in January as we approach implementation and detailed information will be furnished accordingly.
