Proposal Module

The Proposal Module contains those works that have been submitted to sponsoring organizations for funding. Only completed works are stored in the Proposal Module. With the Proposal module, the user can view basic data on funding source, title, department, principal investigators, and amount proposed. Also in this module, the user is able to generate a Current and Pending Support Report for any investigator listed in the proposal. Current and Pending information can be downloaded in a variety of formats for subsequent modification to conform to individual sponsor's requirements. Once a proposal is funded, the information in the Proposal Module forms the basis of the actual award.

Award Module

The Award Module maintains detailed information on awards and subcontracts including a complete history of every change made to an award and subcontract from notice through closeout. The Coeus system stores all agency contacts (in the electronic rolodex), maintains all reporting requirements (financial, technical, property, patents), terms and conditions, required cost sharing, special reviews (animals, human subjects, biohazards, etc.), F&A rates (whether limited by agency or fixed for the life on Federal awards), and also the required approvals for equipment, foreign travel, and subcontracts.

Subcontract Module

The Subcontract Module is maintained under the award(s) that fund the agreement and contains detailed information on subrecipient agreements. Data in this module include: the amount, the start and end date, the investigator at the receiving organization, other administrative contacts, and all required closeout information. Historical information is captured as the subcontract is modified to allow tracking of change orders to the subrecipient agreement. Additionally, funds released from incoming invoices are also maintained.
