The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is pleased to announce training sessions for 2009.  Four different programs are offered covering electronic research systems in use by the University and an introductory seminar for those involved with grants administration at MUSC. 

• Grants Administration 101 provides an overview of the basics of research administration and the internal procedures required for proposal processing within the University.  It is geared toward those who are new to research and/or new to MUSC and those wanting to refresh their knowledge of the research process.
• Cayuse424 is a web based application for preparing and submitting federal applications through the grants.gov portal.  This hands-on lab provides guidance in using this application to take advantage of its many useful features.
• HBI Research Reporting is a tool that provides intranet access to grant information via your web browser. Multidimensional, modifiable views are presented as graphs, reports and text interpretations.  Each view can drill-down to a more detailed level.  All proposal and award information is available at your fingertips.
• Electronic Routing of Research Proposals uses the electronic Proposal Data Sheet (ePDS) system to provide for the routing and approval of research proposals to necessary individuals and to ORSP.  A system overview is provided with tips for routing to assure a smooth approval process.

There is no fee and all classes are open to all MUSC employees.  For more information visit the ORSP training site at http://research.musc.edu/orsp/registration.htm.
