Cayuse Protocol Management System

Welcome to Cayuse Protocol Management System at Texas A&M University–San Antonio

All research conducted under the auspices of Texas A&M University–San Antonio that involves living human participants, identifiable data, or biospecimens—whether obtained directly or indirectly—must receive approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to initiation.

From initial application through review, modification, renewal, and study closure, Cayuse Protocol Management System ensures an efficient, transparent, and user-friendly experience for all researchers.
