Cayuse
We are implementing an electronic platform, Cayuse, to facilitate the grant proposal review and submission processes, as well as the IRB protocol review process. OSP will be hosting informational and required Cayuse training sessions during Fall 2024.
- CAYUSE HELP CENTER: Click on the Human Ethics option for information on using Cayuse for IRB submissions. Click on the Sponsored Projects 4.0 option for information on submitting grant applications.
- CAYUSE ACCADEMY: A few short instructional videos from Cayuse. A quick registration or sign in is required.
Instructions for Using Cayuse
GENERAL
Notes:
