Before implementing Kuali Research, Utah State University's research administration processes relied on manual data entry and systems that were only accessible to the research office. Proposal information had to be re-entered from PDFs, creating delays, increasing the risk of errors, and limiting visibility for faculty throughout the proposal process. Research compliance processes were also managed separately, making it difficult for researchers to see the full picture of their research activities.
Utah State University implemented Kuali Research to create a single system that connects proposal development, awards, and research compliance. Faculty now participate directly in the research administration process, while administrators, compliance teams, and sponsored programs staff work from the same platform with shared visibility into research activities. Instead of managing separate systems for different functions, the university created a connected environment that supports the entire research lifecycle.
By bringing research administration and compliance together on one platform, Utah State University improved operational efficiency while creating a more transparent experience for researchers and administrators.
For Utah State University, Kuali Research has done more than modernize individual workflows. It has created a unified research ecosystem where sponsored programs, compliance offices, and faculty work together through shared processes, data, and visibility. Combined with responsive customer support, the platform continues to provide a strong foundation for research growth.
