With a simplified interface, you can take advantage of automated routing and approval workflows, allowing for an easier online proposal development process.

Your team can keep a record of the completed items that you’ve submitted to sponsored funding organizations.

Quickly gather the info and data that you need to populate forms instantly or even trigger a conditional workflow automation.

Sponsored Programs connects directly with Grants.gov for seamless submissions. Institutionally configured identifiers allow grant data to be mapped to the appropriate areas of sponsor forms, so you can interact with the same interface every time.

All negotiation activity can be tracked and managed, whether it is related to a funded or unfunded agreement. Quickly and easily link negotiation records to proposals, awards, and sub-awards.
