Web-based Cayuse424 Small Business Edition Affordable for Small Research Organizations Preparing and Submitting Federal Grant Applications

Portland, Oregon: Cayuse, Inc., a provider of Web-based grant proposal solutions for Grants.gov, has announced a new version of its industry-leading software. Cayuse424 Small Business Edition is an affordable solution for small entities like biomedical research companies, SBIR shops, and small healthcare organizations. Now, these small organizations can prepare and submit federal grant proposals to Grants.gov using the same powerful Web-based System-to-System (S2S) platform used by the largest research universities in the country.

Grants.gov offers S2S as a method for submitting grant applications directly to Grants.gov without the need of downloadable forms. Cayuse has built a sophisticated Web application that takes advantage of S2S. Until now, Web-based S2S solutions were only affordable to organizations who receive substantial federal funding. With the release of Cayuse424 Small Business Edition, organizations of all sizes can reduce the overhead associated with accurately preparing and submitting competitive federal grant proposals.

"As a biotech startup, access to SBIR funds is absolutely critical. However, traditional methods of grant submission with the PureEdge and Adobe Forms are prohibitively time consuming and error prone," says James Atwood, Ph.D., COO of BioInquire. "After adopting Cayuse424, our company has cut grant submission times in half and the error checking ensures that we never have to resubmit applications. The result is more applications and a higher rate of successful funding."

Cayuse’s mission is to reduce the barriers to federal research funding by streamlining the grant application process. Cayuse424 Small Business Edition delivers the benefits of a mature Web-based development platform to a much broader audience. Cayuse424 Small Business Edition is designed for small companies and organizations that have few users and submit small numbers of federal grant applications.
