    Cayuse SP FAQs

    What is Cayuse SP?

    Cayuse SP is a software tool which replaces the old routing sheet system (Proposal Management System). Cayuse SP will now be used to route and approve proposals, contracts, and other types of agreements internally. 

    I don’t see my Sponsor in the dropdown list. What should I do?

    Many sponsors to which we regularly submit proposals have been pre-populated in Cayuse SP. If you are submitting to a sponsor that was not pre-populated, select “New Sponsor” and contact osrp@iit.edu.

    who is the primary administrative contact in my department?

    The primary administrative contact in your department can be found here.

    On the budget tab, should I provide a SUMMARY or DETAILED budget?

    OSRP requests that you provide a detailed budget, regardless of budget type you submit to the sponsor. You can find a list of budget templates here.

    What if I have additional information that I want to share with OSRP or my department chair and dean?

    Use the “Submission Notes” tab in order to provide additional information regarding your proposal, contract, or agreement.

    I HAVE COMPLETED THE CAYUSE SP RECORD (ROUTING SHEET). WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

    This is now a two-step process. The Lead PI, PIs (Co-PIs) will need to certify and route the Cayuse SP record.

    Contact the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs at 312-567-3035 or osrp@iit.edu if you have any questions.
