Did you know that there is a new searchable grants database available in MIS Web Applications? The database is a tool for discovering who within the UM System is doing research in a given area and can be used to help identify potential collaborators. Anyone with PeopleSoft Grants Module access can use the database. Instructions can be found here.
In order for a project to return in the search results, an abstract must be added in the PeopleSoft Grants Module at the time the proposal is entered (PSRS). This database is being used by the MU Office of Research, the Research Development Network, and various campus committees to identify who is doing research in a given field. We strongly encourage research administrators to enter abstracts in the PeopleSoft Grants Module whenever possible to ensure that projects are included in the searchable database.
