Florence eBinders allows research teams to digitize all regulatory study binder documentation and workflows. Launched in our Cancer Center in 2022, it can be used by study teams for federally-funded or investigator-initiated studies for free, or on industry-funded trials for a fee. This platform allows for remote access for external personnel for study activities relating to trial start-up, monitoring, and source data review for your sponsors.
The Cancer Center is the main user and only funder of this resource
New users must first complete Florence's eBinders online training course tailored to their needs in order to be granted access. Newly trained users are given limited access to eBinders to e-sign documentation of completion of their training. Once this documentation is verified by either the Cancer Center’s regulatory team or by Research Computing team member Melanie Keister, the new user may be assigned to their study for access.
To request access to this system, contact Richard Lucente.
Use this resource for IRB-approved studies. For industry studies, there is a fee per study. For grant or investigator-initiated studies, there is no fee for each study. Users are expected to self-service, but users may request technical support through Richard Lucente or Melanie Keister.
A study team would like to use electronic study regulatory binders rather than paper binders. Using eBinders will streamline gathering required signatures from the PI, as the coordinator does not now have to bring paper to the PI for signature – the PI can e-sign. Also, the study monitor from the sponsor has agreed to do monitoring through this electronic resource, and so the coordinator does not have to fax paperwork to them.
