Training Videos
These short screencasts were recorded to provide an overview of how to create a proposal development document in UAccess Research. Each video covers a separate tab in the proposal development document. Watch them in the order listed below for a full overview of the system or choose one to focus on the area where you have questions.
In 2022 UAccess Research moved from locally hosted to a cloud-based System-as-a-Service (SAAS). Sangita Pawar Judge, Vice President of Operations for Research, Innovation & Impact (RII) addressed the Campus Research Community on changes to the UAccess Research system at that time.
