Finding the best system is a big assignment. Over a year ago we demonstrated that Coeus was a good functional fit for the University, but we discounted it in favor of a comparable system for technical reasons that would have made it difficult to deploy Coeus to a large number of faculty and staff. Now we are taking another look at Coeus for two reasons. First, it runs on Oracle, which is now the University of Illinois's chosen database platform. Grants and Contracts administrators then use Coeus for final proposal processing.
Proposals allows viewing of master data for all proposals.
Awards allows viewing of post-award information. Other universities with active Coeus licenses include UC-Berkeley, UCLA, Princeton, and the University of North Carolina. Wasserman said that Coeus has been installed on University servers for testing and evaluation. Staff members at all three campuses have been trained to run test cases.
