  • Lab Animal Research Moves Towards Paperless Ordering

    The Senior Vice Provost for Research & Graduate Education has recently announced that Temple University has acquired software to facilitate the ordering and billing for lab animals over the web. This module, when fully implemented, will provide another key milestone in moving the University towards a paperless research administrative environment. The software will interface with the eRA@TU Lab Animal Protocol Tracking system and will facilitate easier ordering of animals approved for your protocols, keep current counts of animals in house and available to be ordered, interface with Banner for billing for animals and other charges related to the upkeep of those animals, provide alerts when animal stocks run low and generate barcoded cage cards throughout the University facilities. eSirius was chosen using a competitive bidding process in response to an RFP that a working group collaborated with the eRA team in developing. eSirius is used by Universities across the US including Cornell University, University of Kentucky and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Look to the Flash for future announcements on the implementation of this module.
