How do I submit a help ticket?

How can I submit a HSR application?

Go to your dashboard (https://eprotocol.stanford.edu/mydashboard)
Create protocol
Enter a brief title
Enter personnel (at least the PD and Admin Contact, which can both be you if desired)
Choose “Medical” or “Non-medical” as Category
Choose “HSR Determination” as application type
Click “Create”

Complete the application and attach a completed Human Subject Research (HSR) Determination Form under the Attachments section. Also, attach any supplemental documents such as surveys or data acquisition tools, if applicable.
It is a very brief application with only 3 screens to complete: Personnel (do not worry about CITI training or PD eligibility); Funding (if any), and Attachments, the page on which you upload the HSR Determination form, and supporting docs, if any.

How can I get added to a protocol?

If someone else is listed in one of the top 4 positions on the protocol, they can edit the protocol. If you removed yourself in order to move to a different position, they can also add you to the new position. If no one else on the protocol is available, the helpdesk can assist you in getting added back to the protocol.

Please submit a help ticket with the user's SUNet ID and their CITI ID. We can add the CITI ID to the database, and in the future, eProtocol will reflect CITI as completed.

Please note that if the CITI information does not appear initially, you can still change the personnel page to reflect that CITI has been completed and submit the protocol.

What should I do if I have a question or issue regarding OPACS?

While OPACS is integrated with eProtocol, it is a separate system, and if you're experiencing an issue or have a question about OPACS, the OPACS team should be able to assist you. Create a help ticket that will go directly to the OPACS department. Be sure to include your protocol or SPO # in the body of your help ticket
