I apologize for the confusion -- I'm relatively new here (5 months) and was not involved in the decision making process, but I am the one who primarily uses and will be using the grants database. Laura Mahoney Grants and Contract Specialist Office of Sponsored Projects Smithsonian Institution >>> Research Administration Discussion Group <xxxxxx@health.state.ny.us> 10/23/96 07:38pm >>> Laura, The Smithsonian Institution is looking into NextERA, not RAMS. RAMS-FIE is the company that offers the software. We do have a DOS package, still available, called RMS. You may wish to seek comments on NextERA, the SQL windows system. Lisa Richman Ballance Senior Research Administration Specialist RAMS-FIE, Inc. xxxxxx@rams-fie.com ---------- From: Research Administration Discuss To: Multiple recipients of list RES Subject: Grant Databases -Reply Date: Wednesday, October 23, 1996 7:28PM Please post responses to the list for this inquiry. We currently use an in-house system based on Paradox 4.0 for DOS (just a little dated!). It works okay and I'd be happy to answer questions about it, but we are seriously trying to upgrade into a pre-made package system -- if we can get the money to pay for it! Right now, we are trying to get RAMS -- any opinions on the system would be welcome since we haven't gotten it yet nor are we committed to buying it at the present moment. Thanks! Laura Mahoney Grant and Contract Specialist Office of Sponsored Projects Smithsonian Institution >>> Research Administration Discussion Group <xxxxxx@health.state.ny.us> 10/22/96 05:52pm >>> Colleagues, I've somewhat sheepish in posting this request but the time has come. We here at the Cancer Center are attempting to develop a grant/contract tracking system or database. We regrettably do not yet have such an animal. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or pointers members if this list might be willing to share. Along with the obvious fields (PI name, source, dollars, years) we are looking to include fields in the database to include what the Cancer Center is obligated to support, resources committed and any unfunded mandates included any grant application. Small task! Again, thanks to the members of the list for any directions you can supply. Lou Lafrado ___________________________________________________________________ Louis J.
