Access the CTR Portal

The CTR Portal is designed to be used by the entire study team: Investigators, coordinators, project managers, finance staff, and administrators.

Who can access

Anyone with a University of Minnesota internet ID and password can log in to the CTR Portal. Upon logging in, the information you can access depends on your role and permissions. Access to project information is provided by the PI.

If needed, use the access request form for help adjusting access project-level roles:

Pay invoices

A new invoicing tool called the Clinical Research Invoicing Application replaces the CRT Portal's Invoicing Module beginning July 17, 2023. This announcement provides details. 

Through the launch of the new tool, there will be plenty of opportunities to obtain live help from experts. Contact [email protected] for information on joining a planned office hours session.

Use the scheduling system

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.
