What Does UH KC Mean for Principal Investigators and Staff? One tool for proposal & budget creation and grants administration Automatic routing for approvals Eliminate redundant data entry and submissions Enter CFDA Number or Opportunity ID from grants.gov and UH KC will include forms in proposal Data entered during creation process is used to populate grants.gov forms File uploader will no longer be needed for grants.gov S2S applications
What Does KC Mean for Principal Investigators and Staff? (cont.) Access through UH single sign-on via web browser Proposal and budget creation with robust calculations Consistency in budgeting Template proposals to use again Speed up processing through electronic routing PI can only view his/her own proposals/awards online Initial pain during the learning curve phase
