  • 1.  What metrics are other people tracking and or looking for?

    Regarding Cayuse Human Ethics, I am interested in hearing from others about the various metrics people are reporting on and/or are looking for. I hope to use this information to generate news ideas on reportable metrics and potential new data sources.

    I will begin by summarizing some of the different metrics I have gathered for reports. To be clear, not all of these are regularly reported.

    • Yearly number of approved protocols across department and colleges
    • Number of current active protocols across department and colleges
    • Number of submitted submissions by type, review level (including NHSR), and year
    • Average number of processed submissions by day
    • Average number of submissions (and resubmissions) by day
    • Number of initial submissions reviewed by the Chair
    • Number of new protocols and modifications a year before COVID compared to a year "after"

    Looking forward to hearing about what other people report and look for. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about how I was able to get the information for some of the reports above. Hint, I used the Cayuse automated emails for some of these.

    We also like to add a portion that outlines the human subjects training (number of courses complete, number of faculty and students trained) etc.   We track the number of single IRB/IIA agreements in each fiscal year.  We also like to track the number of modifications processed by type of modification .
