Manage the full sponsored-research lifecycle, from proposal development to award management. Easy forms and embedded help for researchers, configurable workflow for your team, and a clean handoff to post-award.
Sponsored Programs manages externally sponsored projects across the full lifecycle: proposal development, budget preparation, internal review and approval, submission tracking, negotiation, award management, and subaward administration. Configurable workflows, centralized records, and AI-enabled tools help your team spot delays, surface missing information, and keep work moving.
Proposal development, submission, and post-submission management in one centralized workflow.
Use AI Query to quickly find information across your research data and get the answers you need.
Set your rates and rules once, then let every proposal budget apply them automatically.
At-a-glance proposal status, negotiation, award activity, submission readiness, and deadlines.
Routing and approval aligned to your institution's governance requirements.
Fewer proposal delays from fragmented approvals and poor visibility.
No manual coordination across research offices, departments, and investigators.
Fewer missed deadlines and compliance gaps. Issues surface before they affect outcomes.
Data flows between related records, so key information does not need to be re-entered and consistency is ensured between records.
Every part of the project lifecycle in one connected system.
Build and route proposals with sponsor forms, attachments, and compliance checks in one place.
Build compliant budgets with your institution's rates, rules, and cost structures built in.
Route for assigned tasks, review and approval, along your desired business process path, with reminders and a full history.
Proposal data maps directly from the proposal record to the forms, so nothing has to be re-keyed. Validate and submit to Grants.gov directly from Kuali, and track transmission status in real time.
Track awards, modifications, negotiations, agreements, and subawards on connected records.
