Live Training Sessions and Open Doors

Trainings have been developed to introduce myResearch. These sessions are relevant for principal investigators, research administrators, proposal reviewers, and Cayuse 424 users.

Agreement Creation: From the PI’s Perspective

The Agreements Module of myResearch provides transparency into the status of agreements, standardizes the intake and initiation of new agreements, streamlines communication, and allows principal investigators (PIs) to view all of their agreements in one place. This session will provide an overview of the Agreements Module from the perspective of the PI, focusing on agreement-related activities that PIs initiate and how to view and track the status of agreements.

• Navigating the general dashboard, the agreements page, and the agreements workspace within myResearch

• Initiating agreements and the associated intake questions

• Assigning proxies

• Agreement types (e.g., collaboration agreements, non-disclosure agreements, sponsored project agreements, and teaming agreements, among others) and the offices responsible for each

Proposal Review and the SF424

What happens after a new proposal has been created in myResearch? Join the Office of Sponsored Projects Education and Training Unit for a discussion about the routing, review, and approval of proposals within myResearch. Additionally, this session will cover the myResearch system-to-system application that simplifies the creation, validation, and approval of SF424 forms to meet Grants.gov requirements for system-to-system proposal submissions.
