On August 6, 2012, the Office of Research (OR) and the Office of Information Technology (OIT) implemented the Proposal Development component of the Kuali Coeus (KC) system.   KC includes systems for the electronic review, routing, approval and submission of proposals to Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA).

Presently being used by a pilot group, including representatives from The Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, TEC Business Center, Biological Chemistry, UCI MIND, Advanced Power and Energy Program, Social Ecology, SPA and OIT, KC will be made available to the rest of the UCI research community this quarter.  Additional information about the roll out and training will be available in the near future.

KC is a comprehensive system to manage the complexities of research administration. It assimilates the functions of multiple existing systems into a single integrated system to better support an institution’s research enterprise. The Proposal Development component of KC, when fully implemented, will enable electronic proposal development (including budget development), proposal routing, review and institutional approval, as well as system-to-system submission of proposals to Grants.gov.
