Hi Audrey,
We actually piloted our advancement team on Cayuse, but fairly quickly realized it would not work for them. They use Razor's Edge and have a higher need to maintain notes and relationship details with their sponsors. Where we might have one sponsor in the database for Wells Fargo Bank, they have ~50 branches, for example. We do process all grants that have anything to do with research or sponsored programs, however, including those from corporate entities, nonprofits, and NGOs (plus federal, state, local, and other university). To keep advancement looped in, I provide a quarterly report of all non-public proposals and awards so they can follow the agencies who are engaged in the work. Hope this information is helpful.

Glad to know I'm not alone. Thanks! Looks like Megan has more of the set up I'd like to see at my institution.

Hi Audrey,
I experience the same frustration because our development team also uses Razor's Edge, and they collect and compile data differently from OSP. It becomes a challenge when reporting out on all these funding sources. It would be great to find out if there are development teams that are using Cayuse.

Good Friday afternoon! Does your institution use Cayuse to house both federal and private grants? Currently, our sponsored programs office uses Cayuse and our Development Office uses Razor's Edge, I believe. When it comes time to gather information that needs to include federal, private, non-profit grants, I find we are collecting information differently and it makes for a cumbersome process. Is anyone's Development Office entering information into Cayuse so that information is housed in one single place?
