Will we be able to create our own Institutional Proposals/Negotiations/Awards/Subawards?

No. Campus users may only create Proposal Development documents. Only Sponsored Projects, the Office of Research Contracts, and UAHS Contracts will be able to create Institutional Proposals, Negotiations, Awards and Subawards. You will receive an error message if you attempt to create any of these document types and do not have the appropriate provisioning. 

Will our Action List preferences carry over into the updated UAccess Research system?

Yes. Your Automatic Refresh Rate, Action List Page SizeFields DisplayedColor Coding for Route Status, and Email Notification Preferences will all be migrated over to the updated UAccess Research system.

Is the Medusa screen essentially the same in the updated UAccess Research system?

Yes. The content included/shown on the Medusa page is the same in the updated UAccess Research System. It just has a different look and feel.

Can we still look up Negotiations by department in UAccess Research?

You will be able to look up Negotations by department in the current version of UAccess Research (v. 5.2.1) until Thursday, January 20th before 5pm. After that, the old system will go dark. During system conversion, all negotiation records will be transferred over to the updated UAccess Research system. You will be able to look up Negotiations by department in the updated version of UAccess Research (Kuali SaaS) after go-live on Tuesday, January 25 after 8am. 

Will we have access to see the 'Proposals not routing' if we aren't provisioned for the Lead Unit?

You will have access to items in the 'Proposals not routing' card on the dashboard if you:

  • initiated the proposal document
  • are included as Personnel on the project (PI, Co-I, Key Person)
  • are provided viewer, editor, or aggregator privileges through the Access tab of the proposal
  • are provisioned to view or approve proposals for any unit included in the proposal 
  • are added as an Ad Hoc with an Acknowledge, FYI, or Approve action
