Researcher Home Page

 Print this page

The Researcher Home Page is a new feature in the PeopleSoft Grants and Contracts modules. When a Researcher logs in, he/she will see all his/her active Projects and pending Proposals. The RSO captures all information to do with an application and its submission in what is called a Proposal in PeopleSoft.  The various stages of a Proposal are indicated by the Proposal Status. Once the project is set up and funds are available to spend, the Proposal information drops off and all related information is displayed in the Projects section. Data on the Researcher Home Page is immediately visible in real time with the exception of any amounts which are updated nightly, for example, actual budgets. 

Researcher Home Page - Advanced Project Search
When Administrators enter the Researcher Home Page, there will not be any Projects or Proposals displayed. They will need to perform an Advanced Project Search to bring up specific Projects and/or Proposals on the page. To conduct an Advanced Project Search, enter criteria in select field(s) and click the Search button. The search results will be displayed on the Projects tab. For additional details about those projects, click the Details tab.

Researcher Home Page – Proposal Search
To conduct a Proposal Search, enter criteria in select field(s) on the Proposal Search page and click the Search button. Note: the PI ID field defaults with the ID of the person who logged in, so ensure that the field is either cleared or a new ID is entered as search criteria. Also remember to adjust the number in the Max Rows field if necessary, to facilitate accurate search results.
