VAIRRS provides dashboards that offer users customized and tailored data, metrics, analytics and decision-making tools. The VAIRRS approach to dashboards ensures they are self-updating and automated without the need for service providers to update metrics or sources.
Reminder: if you have not already requested access to your facility's dashboard, you can request access here. Please submit all feedback to VAIRRS@va.gov.
The dashboard team just rolled out the "Data Curation" page on the Field Staff Reporting (FSR) Dashboard. This page includes data validation requirements for the project status of various boards, IRB project risk levels, and projects approaching an expiration date. You can access this new page using the left-hand navigation section. The "Data Curation" page is intended to provide the data and tools for each VAIRRS site to ensure the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and reliability of a program’s data. For any issues or discrepancies needing resolution from VA Central IRB or other groups outside of your purview, please reach out to VAIRRS@va.gov.
Some of the VAMC-specific data curation email requests have been sent identifying all current issues in IRBNet. Please work to forward this communication to others as necessary. Individuals may subscribe to a specific VAMC distribution list to receive future communications using the VAIRRS Distribution Subscription List.
Secondly, the "Site Audit" page is now under review by several VAIRRS sites. It can be used to quickly find relevant information that may be required for a site audit. If you would like to assist in the feedback process for this new page, please also reach out to VAIRRS@va.gov.
If you would like to learn more about the Field Staff Reporting dashboard updates, the recording of the VAIRRS End of Year Updates webinar is available.
You can request access to your facility’s dashboard here (VA network only).
Reminder: Once your access is approved, please refer to this link for access.
Sample dashboard of local facility
As of January 23, 2024, there are 969 active projects related to COVID-19
research taking place at 81 VA Medical Centers across the country.
The projects submitted to VAIRRS can be easily tracked via our COVID-19 Research Dashboard. The COVID-19 Research Dashboard allows users to search studies by specific topic and/or location.
The COVID-19-related projects submitted to the VAIRRS platform support and advance VA's clinical and research missions, ultimately helping Veterans affected by the disease.
