Cayuse, Inc. And The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Implement Cayuse424 for Research Grant Development

Posted on: Tuesday, 11 March 2008, 09:01 CDT

Cayuse, Inc., a provider of grant proposal solutions for educational and research enterprises, and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston have initiated implementation of Cayuse424 for developing and submitting grant proposals to Grants.gov.

After training and configuration, UT Houston will roll out the application to the university's wide-ranging research community. "We're pleased that we'll have Cayuse424 deployed quickly, giving us plenty of time to collaborate and prepare proposals for the June 5 NIH deadline," said Johnna Kincaid, Executive Director of the Office of Sponsored Projects at UT Houston.

Cayuse424 will integrate with UT Houston's Single SignOn (SSO) IT environment, based on the open-source Shibboleth System, which supports secure user access to Web resources. With a flexible Web-hosted architecture and Software as a Service (SaaS) model, Cayuse424 deploys smoothly in most IT environments.

"We're glad to have UT Houston on board with the Cayuse platform," said Christian Harker, president of Cayuse. "As one of the leading recipients of NIH grants, the Health Science Center at Houston generates an impressive volume of research proposals. We are confident researchers and research administrators will benefit from the improvements in speed, accuracy and efficiency delivered by our system."

The UT Houston implementation is part of the system-wide deal negotiated last year with the University of Texas System. The agreement between Cayuse and the UT System Office of System-wide Information Services provides the universities and medical centers in the UT System with the ability to obtain and implement Cayuse's automated system for proposal development.
