Presented by: Latoya Watkis-Stewart, Grants and Sponsored Programs

Cayuse Research Suite is a cloud-based solution for externally sponsored proposals and award activity with streamlined internal routing to facilitate the approval process, as well as submissions via Grants.gov.

Cayuse SP allows PIs to quickly and accurately prepare a proposal for internal routing and review. While Cayuse 424, a system-to-system submission portal used by a wide range of federal sponsors, serves as an interface to Grants.gov to facilitate final submissions.
