The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs uses the Cayuse Research Suite for processing and managing sponsored projects with the module Sponsored Projects 4.0. The Cayuse Research Suite also includes modules for IRB, IACUC and Conflict of Interest.

What is Cayuse?

Through Cayuse SP4.0, ORSP handles the entire lifecycle of sponsored projects from creation to close out through the web application.

Cayuse provides a centralized system with cloud storage for all project records with easy access for research administrators as well as for principal investigators, chairs, deans, and department coordinators. Cayuse SP also provides for the electronic routing and approval of sponsored program proposals and documents.

Getting Started

Cayuse can be accessed through PipelineMT in the Employee Resources section of the homepage or directly (mtsu.app.cayuse.com) with your SSO login. Select the “Products” dropdown and click on “Sponsored Projects” to access Proposal or Award records. If any tasks have been assigned to you, they will appear on the Cayuse homepage.
