Some research involves the use of radioactive materials. When conducting such research, it is imperative to ensure the safe use of radioactive materials and all sources of ionizing radiation in order to protect research staff, laboratory workers, study subjects, the public and the environment in compliance with Federal regulations. For this reason, protocols must be reviewed and approved by the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC).

This approval process demands the attention of many types of individuals within a research institution. Key Solutions offers a web-based Integrated Research Compliance and Administration System that will allow you to perform and coordinate all research administration and compliance tasks in an integrated and error-free manner. Each member of your team – principal investigators, research administrators, reviewers and the RSC – can have access to a portal through which they can perform all protocol-related activities. An email notification system keeps your team informed of each other’s progress. An email alert system will warn of approaching deadlines. Our automatic 'Check for Completeness' system makes sure that your RSC application is complete before it is submitted. Our Integrated Research Compliance and Administration System was created to simplify the time-consuming and complicated process of protocol approval so that, with the minimum of effort, you can be assured that research involving radioactive materials meets all RSC standards.
