Proposal and Budget Preparation a. Describe how faculty members, academic departments, central sponsored programs offices, and other research related areas would each access and use your software system. Cayuse Research is a set of integrated hosted, web‐based software modules designed to work in concert. The solution for VTRAS is comprised of two modules: Cayuse 424 and Cayuse SP. Cayuse 424 is a very mature web‐based system designed for proposal development and submission to Xxxxxx.xxx. Cayuse 424 can also be used for non‐federal and non‐electronically submittable proposals. Cayuse 424 is in use at nearly 100 research organizations of all sizes. Cayuse SP is a Sponsored Projects management application, designed to handle complex routing, institution‐specific data collection, reporting, workflow for pre‐ and post‐award activities and much more. The two modules use a web services integration to synchronize the detailed proposal on the 424 side with the workflow, review and approval on the SP side. Cayuse and UNC Chapel Hill are developing deeper integrations between the two modules in the coming year. Users access the system via their web browser. b. Describe how the system identifies and handles funding opportunities. Federal funding opportunities are downloaded from Xxxxxx.xxx into Cayuse 424 using the opportunity number or the CFDA number. When the opportunities are downloaded into the system, they are then available to users in a searchable list, which can be sorted by title, opportunity#, CFDA#, etc. or filtered by keyword. The ability to download opportunities into the system can be granted to all users, or only allowed by the grants office at the institution’s discretion. c. Describe how the system manages limited‐submission type opportunities. At this time, there is no explicit support for limited submission management. UNC‐CH has a standalone “limited submission” module. UNC intends to fold that functionality into Cayuse SP in a future release. When complete, Cayuse will make it commercially available. It will likely not be available before Q1 2011. d. Describe how the proposal development process is managed in your system. Investigators begin the proposal in Cayuse SP, entering VT’s institutionally required data on screens configured to meet VT needs. If the proposal is a federal proposal which will be submitted to Xxxxxx.xxx, the system links to the Cayuse 424 module, where they complete the proposal development, using the auto‐fill features, budget tools, and validation tools...
