OnCore

OnCore is Yale’s enterprise Clinical Trials Management System, supporting the full lifecycle of clinical research across the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI), Yale Cancer Center (YCC), and Yale New Haven Health (YNHH). It provides centralized management of operational, regulatory, financial, and administrative study components, with integrations to the electronic health record (Epic), Institutional Review Board (IRB) system, and financial platforms. It also supports participant management. The Research Informatics Office (RIO) provides advanced support including issue triage, configuration review, vendor coordination, upgrades, and reporting. Basic support is handled by the YCCI Systems Support team. Advanced requests should be submitted via the ServiceNow ticketing system.
