Office of Sponsored Programs
Cayuse is transitioning to Huron Research Grants & Agreements module on July 1. Are you ready?
DASH GRANTS GO-LIVE IN JULY
Cayuse will sunset on July 1. The new Huron Research Grants & Agreements module will launch on July 13. Between July 1 and July 13, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) cannot accept, route, or process any grant applications!
NIH deadlines potentially impacted: renewals, resubmissions, revisions
- July 5 (6): R01/U01. The typical 5-day deadline would have been June 26 (which is a holiday week). Because of the DASH transition, the new deadline is 8:00 am June 24. NO EXCEPTIONS
- July 16: R03, R21, R33, R21/33, R34, U36, UH2, UH3, UH2/UH3. OSP will accept submissions
that fully routed in DASH by 8:00 am July 14. HOWEVER, you are strongly urged to observe
the June 24 via Cayuse.
HOW TO PREPARE: HGA Webinars for PIs and Departmental Staff
A webinar series is available for principal investigators and departmental staff on
using the Huron Grants and Agreements (HGA) system — UT's new platform for managing
research proposals, awards, and agreements — in your day-to-day work. Sessions cover
reviews and approvals, funding proposals, agreements, and lifecycle actions. Multiple
virtual sessions are offered April through June, with no registration required. View
the full schedule, session details, and join links on the HGA SharePoint site. Recordings will be posted there after each session.
HOW TO PREPARE: PRACTICE LABS
Drop-in practice labs for the new Huron Grants & Agreements software, where you can log into the STAGE sandbox environment using your NetID and explore the system at your own pace — no formal agenda, just hands-on exploration with Subject Matter Experts available to help. Bring a real proposal or workflow scenario to practice with, and consider partnering with a pre- or post-award colleague to experience end-to-end processes together. Sessions run 10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET on April 28, April 30, May 5, and May 7.
The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) is responsible for pre- and post-award administration of Health Science Center sponsored projects when awards are received as grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements.
OSP facilitates proposal preparation and submission to sponsors; reviews, negotiates, and accepts awards; manages award actions; provides support for post-award financial administration; and ensures proposal and award compliance.
The OSP team also provides related training for researchers and supports the development
of material transfer agreements and non-disclosure agreements on behalf of the university.
