Preaward Administration
Cayuse (Electronic Research Administration System)
Cayuse is a multi-module ERA system that we utilize to record and track research and/or extramurally sponsored projects. Each project should have a Proposal form in the Sponsored Projects (SP) module that provides an informative snapshot. A Proposal form is required for all projects regardless of if it is internally or externally supported.
The Cayuse SP Proposal form serves to document your projects, provide sufficient information to others who will approve or oversee your research activities, and ensure fiscal accountability.
To access Cayuse, log in using your university credentials at https://luc.app.cayuse.com/
