Kuali Research is the institutional and enterprise system of record for various research-related agreements. Therefore, a Kuali Research record is required for the following agreement types.
Please note that all Kuali Research records must be created at least 14 days before the sponsor deadline and routed for review no later than 5 days before the deadline.
Following these timelines helps ensure your proposal is complete and accurate. Missing documentation or incorrect information may cause delays in the review and submission process, which can ultimately impact timely award processing and assurance.
