ISIS is a pretty busy program; why so much text?
ISIS is not like a Power Point presentation or many web applications. It has been developed to meet specific compliance and information management requirements. There are 3 basic reasons for the amount of text. First, ISIS is intended to be an educational tool as well as a compliance tool. Second, some sections include text that must appear on registrations and applications. Third, in some sections PIs must agree to follow basic protocols and to add laboratory-specific protocols. The basic protocol text with which the PI must agree appears on the screens and reports.
