Routing Industry-Sponsored Trials Utilizing CTO Budget Development / Negotiation Services

All new industry-sponsored trials utilizing CTO Central Budget Development/Negotiations services will be assigned to the CTO Contracts team. To ensure proper routing and assignment to CTO Reviewers, please follow these steps when completing the RedCap Study Intake Form and the eGC1 in SAGE.

Please note the following instructions DO NOT apply to Hematology and Oncology trials. 

  1. Complete the RedCap Study Intake Form
  2. Select CTO Budget Development and Negotiations, along with other applicable services.

  1. After your REDCap Study Intake Form is complete, Log into SAGE.
  2. Create/Open the relevant eGC1.
  3. Navigate to the Certify & Route page.
  4.  Scroll to the Additional Information section, and include the following standardized comment:

“Department utilizing CTO Budget Development/Negotiation Services – please assign to CTO Contracts team.”

This note will appear in SAGE Central under eGC1 Campus Comments, allowing the OSP/CTO Contracts intake team to properly route the eGC1.

Note: If this comment is not included, the eGC1 may be routed to OSP instead of to CTO and may not be reassigned to the intended reviewer.

If you have questions or need additional support, please contact the CTO via email at: uwcto@uw.edu.
