NIH Research Category Assistant
NIH Research Category Agent is a guidance tool designed to help researchers identify which section of the NIH Guidelines best aligns with their work involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules. An analysis of a brief description of a research project provides a recommended category along with a concise explanation of why it is the best fit.
RCR Training Plan Assistant for NIH Proposals
RCR Training Plan Assistant is a tool designed to help you develop a comprehensive training plan that fits the page limit of your NIH proposal. You can list the grant you are applying for and your area of research and it will help with things to consider as well as Clemson resources available for your RCR training plan.
IRB Review Level Screening Assistant
The Screening Assistant is an AI tool designed to help researchers determine the potential IRB review level for their study (e.g., Exempt, Expedited, or Full Board). Researchers may enter or upload their research plan into the tool for a preliminary screening. All human subjects research must be submitted to the CU-IRB Office for an official determination, regardless of review level.
