Coming soon! A modernized Cayuse platform to better support our research enterprise. 

The Division of University Research is wrapping up a modernization effort of its Cayuse Research Suite. While many improvements are occuring behind-the-scenes, Rowan end-users will benefit from features that streamline research administration and improve the user experience, including:

  1. A modern, streamlined user interface. Access all of Rowan's Cayuse applications from a single navigational menu. The Pre-Award Office can now route an award setup request entirely within Cayuse, eliminating manual paper-based processes and providing real-time visibility into status
  2. Smarter forms. Dynamic proposal routing forms will only display questions relevant to your specific proposal, reducing administrative burden. Rowan administrative units will receive automated notifications when proposal/awards include aspects that may need review such as international travel or use of biohazards.
  3. Integration with Banner. Employee and graduate student personnel data will be loaded into Cayuse from Banner, reducing manual effort, minimizing data errors, and eliminating the need for graduate students to request access to Cayuse IRB.
  4. Enhanced in-app reporting. Faculty, administrators, and university leaders will have access to hundreds of data points for trend analysis and decision-making.
As part of this upgrade, data will be migrated from the current Cayuse environment to the modernized platform. For data integrity purposes, this process will require a brief blackout period. Specific dates, training opportunities, and transition details will be communicated well in advance of this migration.
 
For questions, please contact your dedicated Pre-Award Specialist or cayuse@rowan.edu.

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 S2S (for submission of federal applications)

Cayuse Proposals (S2S) 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 to reduce barriers between scientific research and its federal funding sources. For assistance with Cayuse Sponsored Projects or Cayuse Proposals, please email cayuse@rowan.edu. 
 
 

Cayuse Human Ethics (for IRB protocols)

Cayuse Human Ethics allows for 100% electronic preparation, submission and routing of human research study protocols. NJDOH, undergraduate students, and other external users 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 assistance with Cayuse Human Ethics, please email cirb@rowan.edu.
