News & Updates

As of December 1, 2008, all schools on campus are LIVE with CICERO
 
Since September 2008 the Human Research Protections Office (HRPO) in conjunction with the SOM IT group has been working diligently on a daily basis to isolate and resolve technological issues in CICERO in real time.  The average turn around time to resolve technical issues in CICERO has been 24-48 hours while some minor issues are resolved in an hour.


 When CICERO issues are reported to the HRPO they are prioritized and triaged accordingly.  Any “show stopper” problems, meaning it’s preventing an application from moving forward, are handled immediately while others are cataloged and resolved on an “as needed” basis.  Any major changes to the system need to be “patched” to the system.  Patches are completed on Monday afternoons by SOM IT which means they make changes to the Live CICERO site and when they are done CICERO users will be able to see the changes.  Moving forward, any major changes to the CICERO applications from patches will be communicated to CICERO Point of Contacts.


 Khristy Bozylinski, HRPO Program Manager, will be on vacation from Monday, December 8, 2008 through Friday, January 2, 2009.  In her absence all CICERO related questions and concerns should be addressed to Deb Grady, HRPO Research Compliance Specialist at 410-706-5037 or dgrady@som.umaryland.edu .


In the event you experience any difficulties during your CICERO conversion process please contact the HRPO and someone will assist you.


Please remember to continue to send all major CICERO questions to your Department/Division Point of Contact (POC).  Once the questions are forwarded to your POC the POC will then triage them to the HRPO as needed. If you are uncertain as to whom your POC is please contact the HRPO.


 You may now use the use the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) option in CICERO to submit your CICERO questions/issues.  Someone will respond to these issues promptly.  The Help/FAQ button can be located in the upper left hand corner of CICERO when you are logged into the system.
