Crucial Update for UCI Researchers: Navigating Zot! HSCRO with New Requirements

Attention all researchers involved in human embryonic stem cell studies at UCI! The Zot! HSCRO system has implemented a vital update that requires your immediate attention to ensure the seamless review and approval of your applications and amendments. Staying informed and compliant with these changes is paramount for the continued success of your groundbreaking research.

Effective immediately, all new human embryonic stem cell research applications, along with any amendments to existing studies, must now include the dedicated HPSCRO-2-19 form.

This form is a critical component of the review process, designed to streamline compliance and enhance the thoroughness of your submissions. Failing to include this form will unfortunately lead to delays in the processing of your research protocols, so please prioritize its inclusion.

To simplify this new requirement, you will find a dedicated section within the Zot! HSCRO application portal for attaching this essential document.

When preparing your submission, navigate to the relevant attachment area and ensure the completed HPSCRO-2-19 form is uploaded alongside your other required materials. This thoughtful integration aims to make the submission process as straightforward as possible, despite the new addition.

We understand that adapting to new procedures can sometimes present challenges.

Therefore, we strongly encourage all users to consult the comprehensive Zot! HSCRO User Guide, which has been updated to reflect this new mandate. The guide offers step-by-step instructions and valuable insights to help you navigate the system efficiently and accurately. Your proactive engagement with these resources is key to a smooth transition.
