Florence eBinders allows research teams to digitize all 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. Provides remote access for start-up, monitoring and source data review for your sponsors.
The Cancer Center is the main user and only funder of this resource
For new users, they must first complete an online training course tailored to their needs, provided by Advarra. They are given limited access to eBinders to e-sign documentation of completion of their training. Once this documentaion us verified by either the Cancer Center’s regulatory team or by Melanie Keister, the new user role is changed in eBinders so that they may be assigned to and access their study.
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 tehnical 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 requesting signatures from the PI, as the coordinator does not now have to bring paper to the PI for signature – the PI can esign. 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.
