Cayuse Sponsored Projects for Internal Approvals

Cayuse Sponsored Projects is the internal routing mechanism for proposal submission approvals. Cayuse Sponsored Projects is your Sponsored Project Life Cycle Management system in a flexible, user-friendly Web application designed to reduce complexity, improve collaboration and provide transparency from proposal creation to award close-out. At its core, Cayuse Sponsored Projects is the central repository that allows management and visibility in each phase of the life cycle. 

Cayuse Proposals for submission of federal applications

Cayuse Proposals is an easy-to-use web application created specifically to simplify the creation, review, approval, and electronic submission of federal grant proposals. Cayuse Proposals helps organizations of all sizes accelerate proposal development, reduce pre-award overhead and improve the quality and accuracy of sponsored funding proposals. With Cayuse Proposals, proposal development becomes substantially easier than with any other commercial or free technology. It was designed with the belief that there should be as few barriers as possible between scientific research and its federal funding sources.

*NEW* Cayuse IRB

Effective September 3, 2020 the Office of Research Compliance will be transitioning its current IRB software to Cayuse IRB, bringing additional transparency into all phases of the life cycle of the IRB submission and review process and meeting all of the expectations of the revised Common Rule. Cayuse IRB will create increased efficiencies with 100% electronic preparation, submission and routing of human research study protocols. NJDOH and other external users may require new registration. Registration instructions and online training are under development and web-based trainings will be available beginning in mid-August. Please visit the Office of Research Compliance website for updates and additional information. For assistant with Cayuse IRB, please email cirb@rowan.edu.
