Logging Data in RAS

Intake uses the Research Approval System (RAS) to log all FP/CP/AAs that are routed to SOM for review and approval.

After identifying a FP/CP/AA that is ready for SOM approval in RAMS-SPOT, Intake creates a new FP/CP/AA form in RAS:

Go to "Research Approval > Create New Record"

Select form type "FP/CP/AA"

Enter FP number exactly as it is in RAMS-SPOT, including the suffix.

Complete as much information as you can. 

  • If it is an Administrative Action for multiple types of actions, hold down the Control key and click on each type of Action.

  • If FP/CP/AA is for an industry funded clinical research or clinical trial and the FAU is not Massey Cancer Center, assign to Cindy Naret and answer "Yes" to the corresponding question on the form.

Answer all questions and complete all data elements.

After all data is complete, click "Save."

Scroll to the bottom and select Review Status "SOM reviewer assigned" and click "Save."

 

To view all FP/CP/AA records that are pending approval, at the top of the screen click on "Research Approval > Pending Approvals."

To view all FP/CP/AA records that have been approved or disapproved, at the top of the screen click on "Research Approval > Closed Approvals."

 

When a FP/CP/AA returns from "Request Changes," click "Edit" next to the record in the Pending Approvals dashboard.

Scroll to the bottom and select status "Returned to SOM" and click "Save."

 

If a FP/CP/AA has already been approved by SOM and Office of Sponsored Programs has sent it back for a second School-level review, go to "Research Approvals > Closed Approvals," search for the FP/CP/AA, click "Edit," scroll to the bottom and select status "Returned to SOM" and click "Save."
