Accessing and Using I-Manager

As of September 1st, 2020, the Animal Care Program and IACUC at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will be joining the IBC and IRB in utilizing I-Manager for all research protocol forms and renewals. We will no longer be accepting new studies filled out on the old form. Please find all the relevant information on the new protocol process below.

I-Manager (formerly IRBManager) is a fully web-based system allowing users with an internet browser to securely: login and submit submissions; send and receive automatic notices; view the status of active, closed, or recent submissions; and maintain the entire IACUC, IRB, or IBC file in one central place.

Students or someone other than the main Principal Investigator will be allowed to complete and submit forms.  However, the PI will be required to log in, review the submission, and press the final submit button before the IACUC can receive the study for review.
