TRI’s Comprehensive Research Informatics Core (CIRC) can assist investigators with identifying the appropriate study management tools, like REDCap electronic surveys and data collection forms, Part 11-compliant electronic data capture tools for regulated clinical trials, and tools available via the Comprehensive Research Informatics Suite (AR-CRIS). Training of research staff on these data tools is also available. TRI research coordinators are already trained in these tools and may use them when supporting an investigator’s research study.
The Comprehensive Research Informatics Suite (AR-CRIS) is a comprehensive set of open source software tools for electronic management of clinical trials and associated data. All components of the UAMS AR-CRIS are web based, enabling sharing and integration of clinical research information for single and multi-site trials. AR-CRIS includes applications for participant registration, study calendar management, free text extraction, participant recruitment, tracking regulatory events, reporting, and electronic data capture. If you need assistance with any of the CRIS tools, please contact TRI using the TRI Services Portal.
