Cayuse - Coming Soon for Pre-Award!

The Office of Research & Innovation is bringing CAYUSE, a new research platform to update and streamline processes for our research community. Working with campus and system stakeholders, and CAYUSE developers, we are embarking on a new way to submit, review, and approve proposals, administer research compliance protocols, and more. Training for faculty, staff, and students will be provided. We look forward to using CAYUSE with our research and innovation community! More Info

Pre-Award Administration


The Pre-Award Division of ORI is dedicated to supporting TAMUK faculty, researchers, and program directors, by expertly assisting with proposal development and timely submission to external funding sponsors who support research, instruction and other public service programs. Pre-award also facilitates review, negotiation, and acceptance of contracts, subcontracts, and awards.
