What is Kuali Coeus?
Kuali Coeus (KC) is a computer system used for research and grant management, drawing on a central database to store information about proposals, awards, sponsors, people, and much more. The objective of this project is to streamline and convert the current paper based grant proposal submission process into an electronic process at the UA.
The KC system will draw on a central database to store information about proposals, awards, sponsors, people, and much more. Users from all over campus will be able to access this database to develop and share information. Having a good system for development and management of proposals will contribute to the University's success in gaining research awards within an increasingly competitive arena, as well as, protecting the institutional integrity and future eligibility for awards.
As with the Kuali Financial System (KFS), the UA has been heavily involved in the specification and development of the KC software through the Kuali Foundation. The KC software is being developed in phases, and will be implemented at the UA in corresponding phases.
