iRIMS-InfoReady is the grant call module of iRIMS. This central platform hosts announcements on funding opportunities managed by the Office of the Deputy President (Research & Technology) (ODPRT), Office of the Senior Deputy President and Provost (SDPPVO), Centre for Development of Teaching & Learning (CDTL) and Faculties/Schools.

iRIMS-InfoReady was opened for grant calls since Q4, 2020.

iRIMS-Sponsored Projects (iRIMS-SP) allows researchers and grant administrators to access proposal and project records from a central location to facilitate project management and monitoring.

This module will eventually replace the existing, manual paper-based processes.

Key features include:

• Easy identification and sharing of proposal/project information with research team members.
• Interfaced with the NUS Finance system to facilitate and shorten the research project account creation process.
• Interface with the My Academic Plan (MAP) system to populate grants information to a staff's profile.
• Interface with NUS Elements to allow linking of publications to awarded projects.

iRIMS-SP was launched in July 2021 and is currently being piloted with the Faculty of Science. NUS-wide roll-out is targeted for Q4, 2021.

iRIMS-Fund Manager (iRIMS-FM) provides researchers and grant administrators a simple to use dashboard to access and view project financials for ease of budget management and monitoring. It interfaces with NUS' finance system and transactions data is synced daily.

iRIMS-FM enables Principal Investigators and authorised grant administrators to access financial data of research projects they are responsible for from a single dashboard. It has an easy-to-navigate dashboard that displays budgets by overall votes which also allows for further drilling down to transactions level. Other features of the system include the ability to perform simple cost projections for anticipated hires and expenses.

iRIMS-FM will be officially launched to NUS users in Q1, 2022. Look out for it!

1. NUS Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) for life science related projects;
2. NUS Institutional Laboratory Safety Committee (ILSC) for non-life science related projects;
3. NUSMed Biosafety Level 3 Biosafety Committee (BBC) for Biosafety Level 3 projects at NUSMed BSL3 facility;
4. Duke-NUS Animal Biosafety Level 3 Biosafety Committee (ABC) for Biosafety Level 3 projects at Duke-NUS BSL3 facility.

iRIMS-IACUC (Animal Oversight) is a platform that allows Principal Investigators (PI) and his/her designate to manage their IACUC applications including new submissions, amendments, renewals and closure of applications. It also allows PI to submit the Annual Protocol Review (APR) form.

From 17 Sep 2024, all new applications to NUS-IACUC must be submitted through iRIMS-IACUC (Animal Oversight).

For applications that have already been created in the Integrated Online Research Compliance system (iORC), amendments to them will continue to be made and submitted via the iORC until the protocol is closed/expired.
