OnCore

Clinical Trials Management System

OnCore is the CTMS that supports clinical research activities at the University and allows for enhanced clinical research study management that supports clinical research activities at the University of Utah. Along with additional modules (eReg, and Participant Payments), OnCore will provide the entire University research community with efficient processes to manage financial aspects and participant requirements to maintain compliance at our institution.  OnCore and its supporting modules can be leveraged alongside other systems that we currently use to share information across campus (Epic/Epic Research, ERICA, EDW, RedCap, etc.) and aid in recruitment.
