PeopleSoft Grants Management Review

Streamline Grants Administration

PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management helps organizations, agencies, and institutions seamlessly handle all processes and activities involved in grants administration from proposal generation to award management. This enables them to automate administrative tasks, boost productivity, and comply with institutional and sponsor requirements.

Generate Complex Grant Proposals

With PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management, users will be able to easily generate grant proposals regardless of their complexity. While they are creating proposals, they can add relational structures and a variety of sites and rates, as well as include multiple budgets.

Automate Grant Protocol And Proposal Submission, Review, And Approval

The enterprise grants management solution automates the process of submitting, reviewing, and approving grant protocols and proposals through the aid of its configurable workflow templates. As a result, this optimizes and accelerates how all the people participating in the grant protocol and proposal lifecycle communicate and collaborate with each other.  

Award Management

When it comes to award management, the solution enables users to set up the needed elements for managing awards using the same component or functionality of the software they have used for generating their proposals.

PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management makes sure that awards are closed properly. The solution can automatically track closeout activities and provide a complete audit trail of the activities.

Access All Information From A Central Repository

PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management is equipped with a central repository where enterprise-wide data are organized. Thus, it can gather information from disparate sources and consolidate them in one place, giving employees and stakeholders a single source of information.

Enable Collaboration Between Principal Investigators, Program Directors, And Employees

Because the solution provides a single source of information, principal investigators, program directors, and employees will be able to seamlessly work with each other, making it easy for them to access and share the same information. They can view information related to grant proposals and awards from the central repository and collaborate with each other efficiently.

Human And Animal Protocol Processing

Protocol processing is automated in PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management. This involves the creation, submission, and modification or renewal of protocols required for human and animal testing. PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management has an automated system that streamlines the capturing and amendment of human and animal protocols.

Users can track multiple versions of protocols which they can use as a basis for generating new protocols or changing existing protocols. If they want to modify a protocol, all they need to do is to copy that protocol and apply the changes. In addition, in terms of approving protocols, the solution ensures that approving authorities are able to immediately review and approve protocols through automated protocol workflows and notifications.

Invoke Grants.gov’s Web Services To Achieve A Sustainable Compliance

PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management can assist grantseekers in complying with regulatory requirements as they look for grant opportunities and submit grant applications. To help users achieve compliance, the grants management solution integrates with Grants.gov. Grants.gov is an e-governance site and web-based application that allows federal grantmaking agencies to post grant or funding opportunities and specify the requirements that grantseekers need to meet as they apply for the available grant programs.

Users can invoke the web services offered by Grants.gov to search for grant opportunities, send grant applications, and track the status of their submitted applications. Once they selected a grant opportunity from the list opportunities provided by Grants.gov, the grants management solution enables users to capture the opportunity data including all the schemas related to the opportunity and forward them to the grant proposal functionality of the solution.

They can then create a grant proposal or application and submit it to Grants.gov electronically in XML format. They can also generate and print SF 424 R&R forms directly from the grant proposal functionality. To be able to track the current processing status of their application and view status details, they need to invoke the GetApplicationList and GetApplicationStatusDetails web services of Grants.gov

Seamlessly Manage Pre-And-Post Award Processes Through Integration

To wrap it up, PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management is an end-to-end grants management system which means it can handle the full range of pre-and-post award processes, encompassing financial aspects. Indeed, the solution’s integration capabilities make it a truly end-to-end grants management system. PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management can be complemented by the applications that belong to the PeopleSoft Enterprise family of applications which is developed by Oracle Corporation.

For instance, it can be integrated with PeopleSoft Enterprise’s financial management solution. As a result, users can review and evaluate journal entries, expenditures, and purchase orders while they are performing grants management activities. Integrating PeopleSoft Enterprise Grants Management with PeopleSoft Proposal Management allows them to convert grant proposals into awards with just a click of a button. The grants management solution can also be integrated with third-party applications from other vendors.
