Multiple AI tools are available (or soon to be available) to assist the UAB research community with their work in myUABResearch.
IRB Pre-submission Assist Tool
A stand‑alone, guided pre‑submission tool that helps researchers identify the appropriate IRB pathway and prepare for submission prior to entering the formal review system. The tool operates as a closed system within the UAB environment, and information entered does not leave UAB infrastructure.
Research Protocol Draft Assistant
Coming soon!
AI-powered tool that analyzes an exported IRAP ePortfolio PDF, maps research information to the HRP-503 Research Protocol template, and generates a draft protocol document for investigator review and revision. AI-generated content may be incomplete, inaccurate, or missing context. All generated content should be reviewed, revised, and validated by the study team before submission.
IRBY
Coming soon!
AI-powered submission review tool that reviews your smartform and all attachments during pre-submission. Its goal is to identify incomplete sections, highlight areas that may require clarification, and reduce the back-and-forth between HRPP staff and departments by helping ensure submissions are complete before review.
