Cayuse is an internal grant and contract system that facilitates communication and tracking across the PI, OSRAA, and department/college approvers. All grants and contract proposals must be submitted through Cayuse. Cayuse reviewers will check your proposal documents against solicitation guidelines and can help catch errors before submission. Input into Cayuse also ensures that your money will be tracked appropriately when received and credit for your efforts given to the correct College. When you start a proposal, you will be assigned a number. Your information can be saved as you go and you can continue to edit as you have the information prior to submission. Consider starting this process early. There are many screens that can be filled in prior to finalizing your grant, making the final submission less stressful.
