As soon as you have received an UIC IRB protocol number after submitting your study to the UIC IRB, submit the Epic Study Build Request by clicking https://redcap.link/StudyBuildRequest.
For research studies involving study drugs, you will receive an Investigational Drug Build Request Form via email after submitting the Epic Study Build Request. You may find it helpful to work with the Study Sponsor by providing them direct access to the Investigational Drug Build Request form to assist with obtaining accurate information. You will be able to forward the Investigational Drug Build Request Form email (which includes the form URL link) directly to your Study Sponsor to assist with completion. A blank PDF file of the Investigational Drug Form will also be available for download once you access the form URL link.
Upon completion of the Epic Study Build Request, the Investigational Drug Build Request, if required, and after obtaining all necessary approvals to activate your study, the Clinical Research Finance Office (CRFO) will designate the research study as in Epic.
