EFS chart string changes

A study’s accountant(s) can update the chart strings or email [email protected]. 

Studies can only be added to the scheduling system after a clinical research unit’s administrator has determined that:

• The facility can support the study.
• The necessary documentation has been received.
• When applicable, a workshop is held to train clinical staff members in the conduct of the protocol.

Effective June 1, 2021, all staff utilizing the CTR Portal Scheduling Tool will be required to have reviewed the training to maintain access.  You can access the training course here.
