We are pleased to announce that the IRB Module in Novelution will go live on Monday, August 17!
Novelution is the Office of Research & Innovation's upgraded electronic research administration system that will gradually replace COEUS and DragonSPOT. The platform is designed to streamline research administration through improved functionality, greater transparency, and a more integrated experience for investigators, administrators, and research support staff. The revised launch timeline has allowed the project team additional time to incorporate user feedback, complete testing, and ensure a successful implementation.
To align with evolving federal research security requirements, Drexel University will require all Principal Investigators (PIs) and Key Personnel listed on federal funding proposals submitted on or after September 1, 2026, to complete Federal Research Security Training on an annual basis.
