Folks should keep in mind that the PeopleSoft grants module has a
number of components.  There is a post award financial aspect that
helps make it easier to interface with the General Ledger.  There is a
component to create a proposal and award data base and there is a
application creating module to allow faculty and staff to prepare
applications.  I think the latter has a work flow component too.  When
various of us at Michigan were helping to develop the original version,
our post award staff liked the post award/ financial part of the system
as it would make their use of the PS General Ledger much easier.  I
believe many universities have adopted the Grants module and use it in
the Grants office to enter data and in the post award office.  I have
not heard of any that have faculty using the application creating
aspect.  Such a component must be able to create nice looking
applications to send to sponsors.  Does it now create applications that
can be sent electronically to FastLane, NSPIRES, NIH, Ed e-Grants and
all the other rogue e-systems, let alone Grants.gov.  Is PS now working
with NIH to send electronic applications?

I recommend any  who are evaluating PS Grants to differentiate among
the various components and determine which will work at their
institutions.  I am very much interested in knowing of ANY
university/research organization that is using the grant application
component prior to an application coming to the Grants Office.  That
is, are there places where faculty and their staff are using the system
to prepare applications.

Thanks.

Bob
