What's in the box?

Our intuitive Form Designer and powerful Workflow Builder allow you to configure and maintain the software independently over time. Modify the data types below and even create additional data types to meet your unique needs!

Sponsored Proposals

Create proposals, route them internally for review and approval, track their submission to the sponsor, and capture post-submission activities such as just-in-time and revised budget requests.

Budget Creator

Develop detailed budgets with our powerful, yet easy to use budget engine. With the familiar look and feel of a spreadsheet and the strength of your pre-configured rates and expense categories, we provide support for your most-complex scenarios. You’ll have an error-free budget in no time.

S2S

Our unique approach to S2S means your researchers use the same, familiar interface whether the proposal requires S2S or not. We handle all the complexity, leaving your researchers and administrators free to focus on other tasks.

Negotiations

Capture data and track activities related to agreement negotiations, whether contracts, MTAs, NDAs, or other types of agreements.

Awards

Establish a system of record for award information, including key award data, terms and conditions, and required deliverables.  Manage changes over the life of an award, track account distributions, and keep award documents in a single location.

Subawards

Track data related to outgoing subawards and link subaward records to the associated award. Track invoicing associated with outgoing subawards.

Facility use application
