Tips for Compliance Modules:
- Student Researchers - NDSU students can log in to Novelution using their NDSU username and password. Student researchers will need to update their Novelution profile with their department before accessing other modules within the system. Click here for instructions on how to activate a student profile.
- Outside Members/Researchers - NDSU has agreements with several other outside entities to provide compliance reviews (IBC, IRB, or IACUC). If you are a member of one of these institutions (e.g. USDA, Mayville State University) and need access to Novelution to submit a protocol, please contact the committee administrator. Once given a User Name, follow the below instructions for activating your account and establishing a password.
- CITI Training Records - Novelution automatically integrates with the CITI program to verify completion of human subjects training. To ensure accurate reporting of your completed training, ensure that the email address in your Novelution Profile, and the email address in your CITI profile match. Your Novelution profile is set by the University System and can be found by clicking on 'Profile & Settings' > Edit User Profile. For most faculty, staff and students, this email will by first.last@ndsu.edu; however, if you have another affiliation within the NDUS system (e.g. you are a student at another institution), the domain may be the institution at which you are a student.
- Check the status of your protocol application - The Requirements panel within the Protocol application shows which steps are ready to complete to facilitate the review process. Check to see if training is completed, the department head has approved, or if the protocol is now in the review process.
