Grants and Contracts Management

The business of research is growing fast and forward-thinking institutions are using the Internet to reduce the administrative drag on proposal preparation, review, approvals and roll-up reports. Click Commerce's eResearch Portal eliminates hours of proposal drudgery across your entire research enterprise: it optimizes your existing pre- and post-awards process with state-of-the-art Internet software. Proposal routing time is reduced to zero, applications are always correctly assembled, nothing is misplaced during processing, and team members across campus or in other organizations know where everything stands at any moment of the day or night. As importantly, the eResearch Portal can later expand to support other critical review processes such as Conflict of Interest, Safety Committees or Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC).
