Just sat down with Rob Reardon, Assistant Director of Operations at Washington University in St. Louis to talk about tech transfer and how Cayuse Inventions is helping to further develop a culture of innovation at the university . Ultimately, this is one of several Cayuse apps driving positive research outcomes , in this case by managing the tech transfer and commercialization lab-to-market process. A bit of background: Cayuse Inventions was originally developed in 2011 by the tech transfer professionals at The Ohio State University (OSU), and perfected by Innovate IP, who recently merged with Cayuse, and it’s customers that ...

I had an opportunity to sit down with two of the newest members of the Cayuse family, Jennifer and Ben Summers. The two are co-founders of London-based Haplo, which we’re happy to announce is now part of Cayuse .

Not only do they bring more innovative solutions to add to our cloud research administration suite, but Haplo brings researcher-centric products that will now be connected to that research suite, sitting on the Cayuse platform. ...

It’s hard to believe, but 2021 is already here: a new year and a fresh start. Here are this year’s important U.S. research proposal deadlines to note. This isn’t an exhaustive list—some federal departments list grant opportunities on their own sites, and some solely use grants.gov—but hopefully it’s a useful starting point. For the most comprehensive database of global funding opportunities, with 22,000+ worth a total of $70 billion, check out Fund Finder . And if your research organization could use help finding or applying for funding , we can help. (Check out all of our pre-award apps here .) NIH R01 deadlines for ...

Research administration isn’t a glamorous job. It requires a lot of behind-the-scenes work that’s not always in the spotlight, yet absolutely crucial to a research organization’s success. It takes dedication, persistence, and ultimately a heart of service to take care of details and support the rest of the research team. After all, without RAs, researchers wouldn’t get the funding and help they need! It’s this spirit of service that sets apart Holly Goold, Veterinary Technician Manager at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Over the past several years, Holly has had a profound impact on both her team and organization, as well as ...

How research administrators are staying productive during this bonkers year Imagine how helpful an extra hour or two would be—and not just during daylight savings time. Research administrators could certainly use it! Administrative burden now takes up about 44% of their time (!), but savvy teams are figuring out ways to make processes faster, even during this extremely challenging year. In light of this, we wanted to celebrate research organizations that are productivity trailblazers at this year’s Connect Conference. Keep reading for tips on staying productive from our inaugural winner, Chapman University, ...

Modernization has never been more critical, given the new world research teams have had to adjust to due to the pandemic. After a decade-long trend of institutions modernizing their processes and systems, as highlighted in the recent LISTedTECH report , this year has pushed modernization to the forefront for even more research teams. To highlight this trend, as well as people and organizations that are leading the way in modernization efforts, we were happy to recognize Kansas State University and Mollie Robbins, eRA Systems Manager & Training Coordinator, as our first annual Modernization Award winner at this year’s Connect Conference. ...

If you are interested in sharing your perspective, let us know. by Adam Mertz, VP of Marketing Back in 1994, Chris Harker was researching a rare blood disorder at Oregon Health & Science University when he had a frustrating realization: all the time he spent printing, filling out, and faxing in proposal-related forms was time he could have spent on actual research! Why did paperwork take so long? That’s when Cayuse and its very first product, 424 (now called Proposals), was born. It was a fast, electronic way ...

Reposted blog by Matt McLellan, President & CEO. Big news! This year has been challenging for all of us, from COVID-19 to the continuing fight for racial justice in the U.S. and beyond. This year hasn’t turned out like anybody expected, and there’s still a lot up in the air.

Reposted blog by Kelly Morgan, Product Manager – Pre-Award Solutions Sponsored projects research administrators (RAs) are accountable for all research activities at their institution, particularly federally funded research, which has the most risk of negative press. If you’ve ever seen a session at NCURA or SRA with a title like “How to keep your institution out of the headlines,” you know that preventing fraud, fines, and related scandal is a huge concern for RAs. Both pre- and post-award RAs feel the stress and anxiety about noncompliance. Before a proposal is submitted, RAs face deadline-related pressure and must make sure proposals ...

We need research breakthroughs to develop vaccines , cure disease, and help us better understand our world. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some research labs in the U.S. have temporarily closed, leaving some research staff out of work. Not only is that frustrating for those whose livelihoods depend on it, but a slowdown in research can have negative ripple effects on long-term global health and knowledge. Thankfully, politicians from both sides of the aisle have proposed a bill to counteract that and help research teams continue their much-needed work. The Research Investment to Spark the Economy (RISE) Act , H.R. 7308, will help ...
