The Study Milestones page is a key feature to quickly view and track startup and approval steps. Revisit often and save the page to capture data in the calculated fields. Find it in the survey queue, or with a direct link from the automated MUSTANG email alerts.

This system is NOT to be used for:

UC Health Agreements (agreements in which the contracting entity identified is UC Health). To submit amendments to UC Health agreements, EPICCareLink agreements, etc., go to: https://redcap.link/UCHContractIntake.
*Awards and other agreements processed by Sponsored Research Services (SRS). SRS processess awards/agreements with funding from federal, state, or local government agencies (including NIH grants and sub-awards), foreign government agencies, non-profit entities/foundations, and mixed funding. SRS also handles retrospective chart reviews, regardless of the source of funding. To submit a project to SRS, Click this link, select "Grant List", then "Create Application". The study will also need to be submitted to MUSTANG to engage with research approval and other functionality.
Data Use Agreement (DUA): If your DUA does not have a financial component, please reach out to the Office of Innovation Tech Transfer Team at uc-mta@ucmail.uc.edu for guidance. If your DUA has a financial component, please reach out to the College of Medicine Accounting Office for guidance.

Protocol amendments alone do not require submission in MUSTANG. If the protocol amendment necessitates a change to the contract or budget, select accordingly above. Otherwise, you may close this page (do not submit in MUSTANG), and proceed with IRB submission only.

Substantive changes to study information or study contacts (Study Info page, ancillary services, EPIC setup info, and/or publish to website information) should be updated on the original record, rather than submitting a new record as an amendment. To find the original record #, use the following link: https://redcap.link/mustang_studies.

If you have a link to the original study record (i.e the Study Milestones page or survey queue link) from past MUSTANG notifications, you may use that. If not, email Research-Admin@UCHealth.com to request a link.
