Hello all:

I'm new to the mailing list and have a quick question.

I'm with the Cal State L.A. Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
and we are looking for a pre-award database that 1) eliminates query
time, 2) is user friendly, and 3) can eventually export data to a
post-award system.  Our pre-award and post-award offices are separate.
Pre-award is governed by the state and the other is governed by a
foundation.  At this time we cannot consider a database that includes
both pre and post award functions: we need only pre-award.  Does anyone
know of a database that might meet our needs?  I've already looked at
InfoEd and RAM-FIE systems and they are either too comprehensive (they
include both pre and post award functions) or too expensive.  I've also
written Oracle and they haven't finished developing their pre-award
module yet.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
