We will be going to Banner soon, for accounting.

We are thoroughly committed to InfoEd for all our pre-award, and we also
have Human Subjects, Animal Subjects, and will soon be coming up with
Proposal Preparation and Protocol Preparation.  This will provide us with a
comprehensive, integrated and fully electronic pre-award and received award
system.   Therefore we will not be thinking about the Banner pre-award.  We
will have to develop certain interfaces so that Accounting can take the
InfoEd data as input to Banner.  InfoEd should be able to provide a
starting point for that which we will have to tweak for our specific
installation.

I'd be delighted to hear of others' success or discouragement with the
Banner pre-award, and any ideas about moving information from a different,
but much more complete, preaward database to Banner.
