Hello out there!

 I just joined the list this morning.  This is Doug Zbylut, and I am the
Assistant Director for Grants Administration at Creighton University.

Concerning Liz Mazzella's post:

 I think you are right that most systems for managing awarded grants
will be of the mainframe variety.  I think this is true because it is usually a
component of the overall financial management system at an institution.
At Creighton ours is hooked into a mainframe system called BANNER (don't
know the vendor's name).

 My guess is that most grant application tracking systems are PC or MAC
based, usually some system developed in-house.  This has been true at
all the institutions I have been at: University of NE at Omaha, University of
NE-Lincoln, and at Creighton.  At Creighton we use a database software
package called FileExpress and have Grants Tracking, IRB, and Faculty
Interest Profiles on the system.
