Nagano
Manage the entire ethics review process, from submission to decision.
Nagano structures ethics review around your institution's rules, committees and project types, from the initial submission through to the decision, together with the official documents it produces.
A process shaped around your organization
Committees and rules that reflect your reality.
Every institution runs ethics review through its own committees, rules and project types. Nagano supports that process without imposing a single structure.
You define the committees, the people responsible and the rules that apply; Nagano carries them through the file.
-
Configurable committees
Define the committees, their members and their responsibilities to match your organization.
-
Rules and project types
Set the rules that apply to each project type and each stage.
-
Integration with your offices
Attach the process to the offices that receive and take charge of projects.
A complete, structured process
From submission to decision.
The file follows a clear path, with the right tools at each step. Requests for clarification are structured: they become a form or are applied to an official document, never exchanged in free-form discussion.
-
Submission and initiation
The project is submitted and the evaluation process starts under the applicable rules.
-
Committee and reviewers
The file is routed to the relevant committee and reviewers.
-
Review
The analysis draws on the grids, the documents and the formal exchanges with the research team.
-
Decision
The decision is documented, communicated and kept in the file.
Tools that fit the file
Forms, grids and official documents, all integrated.
Forms and review grids are adapted to the project types and rules of your institution.
Requests for clarification follow a structured format and the responses are integrated into the file. Official documents are produced according to the process, and the file's history is kept.
-
Form adapted to the project type
The researcher provides the information expected for that project type.
-
Review grid
Reviewers document their analysis on a grid adapted to the review.
-
Request for clarification
Raised as a structured form, never as free-form discussion.
-
Official document
Letters, protocols or decisions produced according to the process.
File history
Stages, decisions and documents stay kept with the project.
According to your rules and project types
Support every type of research project.
Nagano can support different ethics review processes according to your project types and your institution's rules. Not every project requires ethics review: Nagano adapts to what your rules provide for.
-
Human research
Projects involving human participants and the reviews specific to them.
-
Animal research
Projects involving animals and the requirements specific to that research.
-
Other project types
Any other project your rules subject to ethics review.
Traceability and follow-up
Straightforward, secure management.
Every file stays available, with access defined by role and deadlines tracked through to the decision.
-
Complete history
Stages, decisions and documents stay kept with the project.
-
Role-based access
Everyone gets the access that matches their role in the process.
-
Reminders and deadlines
Deadlines and reminders support follow-up through to the decision.
