Research Management System (RMS)

Brock’s Research Management System is delivered through Synto. It is an online system that facilitates research grant application management, and compliance management.

The system has an easy-to-use interface to meet the needs of researchers and research administrators by enabling research review, document management and communication between researchers and administrators. That is, it supports the development of study protocols, projects, and grant applications, as well as the review and issuance of approvals and clearance certificates.

The system allows users to submit applications to the Office of Research Ethics, Animal Care Services, Radiation Safety and Biosafety, and the Office of Research Services.

Application forms

The application forms feature smart questions that adjust based on responses/answers, so some questions may appear or disappear. Required questions are indicated with a red asterisk (*), and questions with an “i” icon provide additional information.
