Before implementing Kuali Build, the University of Maryland relied on manual processes to manage research compliance. Researchers were required to complete conflict disclosures before submitting proposals and awards, but the process involved lengthy reviews and manual verification that delayed research activity and increased administrative effort. The university needed a faster, more automated approach that could reduce turnaround times while maintaining strong compliance oversight.
Using Kuali Build, the University of Maryland automated its conflict disclosure workflow, creating a streamlined process that routes requests, captures data, and makes compliance information immediately accessible. The university has since expanded its use of the Kuali Platform to include Conflict Management, Human Ethics Review (IRB), Animal Ethics Review (IACUC), and Sponsored Programs, creating a connected ecosystem for research administration.
By replacing manual workflows with automation, the University of Maryland significantly reduced the time required to complete and verify compliance activities.
As the University of Maryland has evolved, Kuali has continued to support new initiatives across research administration. By expanding its use of Kuali Build alongside Kuali Research, the university has created additional opportunities to digitize institutional processes while maintaining a connected technology ecosystem that can grow alongside the institution.
