Department Manager's Grant Module is a macro-level management tool for helping organizations track and manage their active and pending grants. It is designed for organizations that have a significant amount of grant funding.
The Grant module tracks information such as:
- Grant status (active or pending)
- Principal investigators as well as their effort
- Funding agency (NIH, DOD, ERA, NSF, etc.)
- Proposal type (New, Competitive renewal, etc.)
- Award type (R01, PPG, Training Grant, etc.)
- Budget and project periods
- Direct and indirect costs
- Other user definable fields
- IRB information
This module is used to answer questions such as:
- How many of our pending grants may be awarded three months from now?
- Of these, which are competitive and which are non-competitive?
- Which are peer reviewed and which are non-peer reviewed?
- How does this break down by department, division, or Faculty member?
- How much grant support (FTE) does a faculty member currently have?
- How much funding does a faculty member have?
- Which grants are ending next month?
- How many grants were applied for or awarded last month? Last year?
This module generates various reports that allow users to retrieve previously entered information from the system and display, print, or export it in a meaningful format. Various report formats are available. Examples include Table reports, List reports and Other Support Pages reports. Users can retrieve or sort information by Principal investigators, grant status, department, funding agency and other user defined criteria. This powerful system for department or central university administrators is an amazing administrative tool.
The Grant Module is particularly useful for NCI Cancer Centers. It provides reports, such as other support pages and Summary Form 2 that are designed for submission to the NCI as part of an NCI Cancer Center Core Grant. Example reports include reports for NCI Cancer Centers.
