OnCore: New Protocol Creation Flowchart

Decision tree for workflow based on OnCore library selection.

    OnCore Protocol Creation

    Protocol creation and library selection depend on whether the protocol is oncology-related.

    Decision: Is the protocol oncology-related?

    Oncology Path

    1. PRMC creates protocol.
      • Non-oncology study teams that have an oncology-related protocol must submit a REDCap request form to the Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC) to begin the protocol creation process
      • Protocol number is assigned by PRMC
    2. Library selected: Oncology Library
      • This type of protocol needs a research group identified and needs CRA and PC Signoffs
      • Staff will receive notifications programmed for Oncology studies
    3. Select Organizational Unit (OU).
      • If OU is UWCCC
        • Select research group
        • Select UWCCC management group
      • If OU is SMPH (outside UWCCC)
        • Select research group
        • Select management group(s)
        • Select primary SMPH management group
          • Organizational groups outside research groups may also be selected

        Non‑Oncology Path

        1. Study team creates protocol.
          • Non-oncology study team members with Protocol edit permissions create new protocols within SMPH using OnCore: User Guide - Building OnCore Protocols.
            • Do not create a new protocol in OnCore if it is cancer-related; instead, follow the Oncology Path above. For guidance on terms associated with cancer, refer to the OnCore Usage Decision Tree.
          • Protocol number is applied automatically
        2. Library selected: Non‑Oncology Library
          • This type of protocol needs non-oncology signoffs completed
          • Staff will receive notifications programmed for Non‑oncology studies
        3. Select Organizational Unit (OU): SMPH
        4. Select management group(s).
          • Only SMPH management groups are available
