Cayuse Transition

Beginning Monday, June 1, 2026, all research compliance submissions must be completed through the Cayuse system, including Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) disclosures. All research compliance applications submitted through Axiom Mentor after 5/31/26 will not be processed.

Cayuse has replaced the Axiom Mentor system as SMU’s electronic research compliance submission platform. Over the past four months, Research Integrity & Compliance has implemented Cayuse modules supporting:

  • Human Subjects Research (IRB) 
  • Animal Subjects Research (IACUC) 
  • Biosafety (IBC) Protocols 
  • Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) Disclosures 

For assistance with using the Cayuse system, please visit the Cayuse webpage or contact Research Integrity & Compliance at researchcompliance@smu.edu.
