System Guides
New departments, or existing departments that have never submitted a proposal through Coeus, will need to contact the Research Administration Information Systems (RAIS) team. RAIS will ensure that your department is set up correctly with the proper departmental and central office approvals.
Proposal development records should not be created in Coeus until RAIS has completed this setup.
If someone with a Coeus Aggregator or Proposal Creator role creates the proposal development record before the department has been properly set up in Coeus, it will not route properly for departmental approvals. This may also cause a delay in submission.
To avoid this, department managers can inquire about department setup in Coeus by emailing rais@brown.edu. The RAIS team will then begin working with you to get your department properly set up in Coeus for proposal approvals and submission to sponsor.
