Dear Drexel Research Community,

We are excited to share updates on the implementation of Novelution, which will replace COEUS as the Office of Research & Innovation’s central electronic research administration system.

After a busy fall focused on system planning and configuration for the IRB and Sponsored Programs Modules, preparations for testing and readiness activities are underway. The project team is actively validating workflows to ensure the system meets the needs of our research community. 

Looking ahead, the Novelution Implementation Team will host a webinar on:
Tuesday, February 17
12–1 PM

Register for the webinar here
The session will include live demonstrations, practical walkthroughs, and time for Q&A. 

We are looking forward to helping you become familiarized with the new system! We are currently organizing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and developing training materials to help ensure a smooth transition to Novelution. UAT will allow users to provide direct feedback and help us optimize resources and support. If you are interested in participating in UAT, please sign up here. Your input is instrumental in shaping a system that is driven by the needs of those it impacts most.

Novelution will offer many benefits that will improve and streamline functionality, including clearer workflows, improved task management, and more effective notifications. As always, be sure to check out the Novelution Hub for continued updates and an FAQ. The Hub will also be the future home of Novelution training materials and other important resources.
