"Cayuse has really changed our organizational culture — the culture of sharing information and transparency of information. It has helped to break down silos between departments and increased collaboration across departments.”

“The back and forth we used to do consistently with faculty and staff to get the whole proposal package has been drastically reduced… [Cayuse] does help people meet their deadlines in a much more effective manner.”

Director of Research and Sponsored Programs

“We increased our bandwidth as far as how many proposals we can submit with the FTE that we have. Cayuse has a great way of tracking throughput and making sure things don’t get dropped.”

System Director of Grants and Finance

“There’s better authentication and data validation now... wherever there are missing fields and information, [the software] asks you to enter them in before you proceed. In the old system, you just kept going, and it would be missing data.”
