Overview

Department Manager’s Grant Module is a macro-level management and tracking tool for helping organizations track and manage their active and pending grants. It is designed for organizations that have a significant amount of grant funding. This module is used to answer questions such as:

How many of our pending grants may be awarded three months from now?
Of these, which are competitive and which are non-competitive?
Which are peer reviewed and which are non-peer reviewed?
How does this break down by department, division, or Faculty member?
How much grant support (FTE) does a faculty member currently have?
How much funding does a faculty member have?
Which grants are ending next month?
How many grants were applied for or awarded last month? Last year?
Which grants have IRB or IACUC approvals expiring next month?
Which grants funded work that resulted in the generation of research publications?
Who are the primary administrative and scientific contacts at the funding agency?
When are our next financial and progress reports due?

This module generates various reports and data display screens to answer these and numerous other questions. Grant tracking reports allow users to retrieve previously entered information from the system and display, print, or export it in meaningful formats. Various report formats are available. Examples include Table reports, List reports, Notification, and Other Support Pages reports. Users can retrieve or sort information by Principal investigators, grant status, department, funding agency and other user defined criteria.

Report Formats

Table Report - Sorted by Principal Investigator This report is an example of one of many table report formats for displaying summary information for active, pending, terminated, or rejected grants. Information is presented in rows and columns and is printed with a landscape orientation. This version includes investigator name and effort on the grant as well as the funding agency, budget and project periods, account number, proposal number, agency number, department and division housing the grant, as well as the direct and total costs for the current budget period. Information is group and sub-totaled by investigator.	View Sample
Table Report sorted by School, Department, then Division This report is another example of a table report. It contains the same information as the Table Report sorted by Principal Investigator, but is sorted by Department and then Division housing the grant.	View Sample
Annual Report This report displays information formatted in a manner for use as the annual report for a department, school, or university. It includes the name of the principal investigator, funding agency, budget period, project period, and the Direct, Indirect, and Total Budget for each active grant.	View Sample
Human Subjects IRB Approval Expiration Date Report This report is used to alert administrators when the Human Subject IRB approval for individual grants is about to expire. It includes grant proposal number, principal investigator, funding agency, current budget period, title, and IRB expiration end date. Similar reports are available for grants using animal subjects, radioactive, biological, or hazardous chemicals.	View Sample
Other Support Pages This report provides grant information as needed for the generation of Other Support Pages for submission of an NIH (or other funding agency) grant. This example displays a modular format, which includes the agency number, principal investigator, project period, title, description, and role on the project of each active, pending, and recently completed grant for each investigator submitting the award. Information concerning any award overlap is also provided. Other standard formats are available in various fonts.	View Sample
Space, Personnel, & Grants Analysis This report consolidates information from the Grant, Space, and Personnel/ HR Modules for analyzing faculty research space requirements. It includes the name, appointing department, and total square foot of space assigned to individual faculty. This report also displays the supporting research staff assigned to each room and their total salaries as well as summary information for active and/or pending grants. Grant information includes the principal investigator, funding agency, agency number, account number, project period, annual direct budget and annual indirect budget. It also displays the faculty member’s effort on the grant and the amount of their salary paid by the grant.	View Sample
Grant & Space Summary by Department & Division Shows the total space and research space assigned to each division within a department. Also shows total grant funding for each division as well as the amount of direct cost per square foot of research space.	View Sample
Grant & Space Summary by Investigator Shows the name, title, total space and research space assigned to each faculty member. Also shows total grant funding for each faculty member as well as the amount of direct cost per square foot of research space.
