Welcome to UM Cayuse Human Ethics!
Beginning January 1, 2024, the 猎奇重口 IRB will begin to use the web-based system Cayuse Human Ethics for managing human subject research studies. Cayuse Human Ethics is an electronic protocol management platform that is cloud-based, user-friendly, and secure. Cayuse Human Ethics will be used to prepare and submit all initial human subjects research studies, as well as make modifications, request renewals, and report incidents.
Logging into Cayuse Human Ethics

Each investigator will need to have a Cayuse account before they can be added to a study submission. All UM Main Campus faculty and staff accounts have already been created and you will be able to login starting on January 1st.

If you are a UM student and need access to Cayuse Human Ethics, please complete a UM Student Access Request using the button above. This will automatically add you to the Cayuse system. Please wait 5-10 minutes after completing this form before you login to ensure that your account has synched.
UM Affiliate Campuses and Non-UM Personnel (External Researchers)
Faculty, staff, and students at UM-affiliate campuses (UM-Western, MT Tech, and Helena College) will need to submit a Non-UM Personnel Cayuse Access Request using the button above. Other external investigators will need to complete this form as well. This form is sent to the IRB office and we add you manually. Access requests are inputted during the work week (no weekends).

What about currently approved studies?
All current human subject research studies approved before January 1, 2024, will continue to submit modifications, renewals, and closures using the previous system and will continue to email documents to irb@umt.edu. These studies will not be migrated into Cayuse HE.
