AURA Grants Live on June 24, 2011
Over the past two years, University Research Administration and Information Technology Services have been collaborating on developing a new electronic research administration system, AURA(automating university‐wide research administration). In the past year, we implemented AURA GrantsXpress for applications submitted to the National Institutes of Health and now have successfully submitted over 400 proposals to Grants.gov in AURA‐GrantsXpress.
URA is very pleased to announce the next phase of the AURA project is ready to be rolled out across campus. AURA‐Grants will be going live as the University’s primary proposal and award management system on June 24, 2011.
AURA‐Grants will include the entire life cycle for all sponsored activities: proposal development, internal reviews/approval, submission, award management, progress reports, non‐financial post award administration, and project closeout. Beginning on June 24, all submissions to URA will be managed in AURA‐Grants.
