Protocol Review and Approval

Universities host thousands of clinical trials each year, but before sponsors can start working in a lab or recruiting patients, they need to go through the protocol review and approval process. To counter a traditionally opaque and siloed process, the Smartsheet solution for protocol review and approval enables providers to manage, track, and quickly report out on the status of clinical trial applications.

Centralize new protocol request submissions

Smartsheet forms make it easy for departments to submit protocol requests. Manage incoming requests in a single sheet so that you can determine what’s required of each request and prioritize accordingly.

Increase speed to approval

Smartsheet automation makes it easy to seamlessly pass protocols from one stakeholder to the next, ensuring that manual error isn’t the reason for approval delay. Plus, dashboards show how long protocols remain with each department.
