Nagano

Offices that truly reflect your organization.

In Nagano, every office can be configured for the role it plays in a project's journey: intake, transition, review or full ownership of the process.

Scientific review office

Ethics review office

Office without review

Administrative review or transition

A tailored configuration

Different types of offices, according to your needs

Every institution can define the offices its processes require, each with its own project types, forms, rules and responsibilities. An office can include ethics review processes, scientific review processes, no formal review mechanism at all, or act as a transition step toward another office.

  • Offices with or without review

    Ethics, scientific, or no formal review process.

  • Transition offices

    Receiving a project and transferring it to another office.

  • Complete offices

    Handling all of a project's reviews.

  • Flexible configuration

    Project types, forms, rules and responsibilities specific to each office.

Supported processes

Every element of a review process, in one place

When a review process is associated with an office, Nagano lets you manage the elements that come with it: committees, reviewers, agendas, minutes, evaluation grids, decisions and official documents.

  • Committees and reviewers

  • Agendas and meetings

  • Minutes

  • Evaluation grids

  • Decisions and follow-ups

  • Official documents

A concrete example

From grant application to official protocol

The same institution can, for example, use one office for grant applications or preliminary projects, then transfer the file to another office that handles the reviews needed for the official protocol.
