SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The issuing organization is seeking a vendor to provide a comprehensive cloud-based sponsored projects administration system delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. The solution is intended to support the full sponsored project lifecycle through an electronic research administration system designed specifically for research and award management.
The selected vendor will be responsible for supplying the full platform infrastructure as well as configuration, implementation, training, and ongoing support. Required capabilities include direct system-to-system proposal submissions, data collection and reporting, advanced internal routing for approvals and resource commitments, and a centralized award repository that connects proposal and award data to support life-of-award management.
The platform must support testing of integrations, APIs, and configuration changes in a non-production environment. It must be browser agnostic, compatible with current versions of major browsers, and offer a responsive interface optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The solution must also include 24x7x365 infrastructure monitoring and management, along with functionality for compliance and ethics management, including the identification, tracking, and administration of project-specific compliance requirements.
The anticipated contract term is seven years.
