Cayuse, a simple, web-based proposal creation and submission system for federal grant applications is here to assist principal investigators across the UGA campus.

UGA requires Cayuse for submission of all grants.gov opportunities. If allowed by the agency, and if the PI prefers, the NSF Fastlane or NASA NSPIRES systems may be used for a specific opportunity.

Why Cayuse?

• Provides electronic system-to-system submission to grants.gov servers for almost 95% of all federal opportunities.
• Auto fills many proposal form fields from stored PI and institutional data.
• Web-based: You can work on it from anywhere.
• Eliminates worries about Adobe Reader compatibility.
• Version control capabilities for collaborative writing.
• Real-time validations against grants.gov, federal agencies, and RFP rules.
• Re-use a proposal or transfer it to another opportunity.

A Long-Term Integrated Solution

The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) has solicited proposals from vendors to implement a commercial software solution to provide researchers and administrative staff with a system that integrates the online process for proposal and compliance protocol development, proposal and award tracking, and research compliance activities.

This solution, termed an electronic research administration solution (eRA), will also provide a single portal for investigators to develop and maintain all their research-related activities; draw from multiple authoritative data sources to pre-populate form fields and reduce the need for repetitive data entry; and will provide extensive automated electronic workflows for transmittal and approval.
