----- Division of Research -----

The Office of Sponsored Programs is excited to announce the release of Cayuse Sponsored Projects (SP). On July 1, 2024, Cayuse SP will replace grantsERA as the University-wide grants management pre-award and non-financial post-award system. Cayuse SP will integrate with research enterprise Cayuse IRB platform as well as Workday HRM and allow for a more streamlined and efficient connection between systems.

Cayuse SP offers a broad array of benefits, including:

• Create a proposal.
• Route a proposal for grants and contracts for review and approval.
• View the status and routing progress.
• View funded proposals and active awards based on your role and assigned Unit/Cost Center.
• Smart Form Technology.
• Improved Reporting Functionality.
• Modern Look and Feel.

We expect a high level of activity in Cayuse SP over the next few weeks as our community creates new proposals and navigates the new user interface and functionality.

In anticipation, we wanted to answer a few questions you may have as you navigate the new system:
