SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The issuing agency is seeking an enterprise electronic research administration (ERA) software solution to support the full life cycle of proposal development and sponsored project administration. The system is intended to include capabilities for system-to-system submission, award management, reporting, and administrative support from pre-award through post-award non-financial management.
The new ERA solution is expected to be deployed simultaneously across four institutions and serve as the core administrative platform for research administration activities. The agency is looking for a system that reduces administrative burden for investigators and staff, standardizes sponsored project processes through a single intuitive platform, and supports collaboration by allowing continuous access to records for multiple users, including staff and researchers.
The solution must also help ensure compliance with federal and state regulations through secure, transparent, and integrated modules. In addition to technical functionality, the agency expects strong customer service and a demonstrated ability to improve both the quantity and quality of proposals developed and submitted. Questions are due by July 31, 2026.
