Registration for PIs, Delegates (Research Coordinators, et al.), Reviewers:

 

If you are a person who initiates research protocol applications at Bellevue in your capacity as an Investigator, Co-Investigator, Research Coordinator, or reviews protocols as a Reviewer, it is important that you first register for the new system.  Please go to the registration site:

 

http://reason.nychhc.org 

 

 

Choose the blue button, which indicates your role (e.g., PI).

 

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS

 

If this is your very first time using the system, you will want to click on the words “Click Here” next to the words “First Time Users  Do not attempt to fill in your name and e-mail boxes at this time.

After clicking the First Time Users line to request system access, a page appears to assure you are SOLELY a PI as opposed to a PI who also servers as a research reviewer.  (Reviewers include Directors of Service, Committee Members, etc.) Select the appropriate designation:  PI ONLY or Reviewer/ PI.

 

If PI ONLY, a page will appear where you will enter your name and an e-mail address and other basic information.  You will then click on “Submit”.  The facility research coordinator will assure you are authorized to use the system. When authorized (typically within one day often quicker) you will receive a temporary password sent to the  e-mail address you entered into the system

.

You will then complete your registration by going back to the URL above, and, sign in using your e-mail address and temporary password.  You will then be prompted to enter the requested information in the appropriate spaces and to create a new, personalized password.

 

You may then go on to create delegates whom you authorize to use the application system on your behalf (e.g., Clinical Coordinators or Co-PIs).  This will give them access to all the same material you can use and see. (The system will note whether it is you or one of your delegates who filled out the form or took an action.)

 

If you are a Principal Investigator, please note that in order to expedite review/approval of your study by the Bellevue Facility Research Review Committee, your application for new and renewal protocols must be completed and submitted electronically via ReASOn [Research Application System Online] with all required documents attached. Documents are preferred in PDF format (although MS Word documents can also be attached).

 

REVIEWERS (NOT SOLELY A PI)

 Reviewers must be pre-authorized and entered into the ReASOn system by the FRC PRIOR to a registration attempt.  If you are not sure whether you are a reviewer or if you have been authorized, call one of the Facility Research Coordinators at Bellevue listed below.

 

You will then complete your registration by going back to the URL above, and, sign in using your e-mail address and  temporary password.  You will then be prompted to enter the requested information in the appropriate spaces and to create a new, personalized password.

 

You may then go on to create delegates whom you authorize to use the application system on your behalf (e.g., Clinical Coordinators or Co-PIs).  This will give them access to all the same material you can use and see. (The system will note whether it is you or one of your delegates who filled out the form or took an action.)
