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.
