Save The Date – Campus Vendor Demos

Contributed by: The eRA Steering Committee

On-campus vendor demonstrations

August 23rd – September 7th

Monteith Research Center – Room 136

Between August 23 and September 7, three vendors will be coming to campus to demonstrate electronic research administration (eRA) system products. Each two-day, on-campus demonstration will use business cases designed by NC State to show you how our research might flow through these systems. Choosing the right solution is paramount and feedback from Principal Investigators and Administrators is a critical determinant in the process.

During the past year, the eRA project steering team, along with many participants from NC State’s research community, defined needed system requirements, studied and assessed proposal submissions from vendors and engaged in high-level online demonstrations of software capabilities and qualifications. Many of you provided user perspective and feedback during the requirements gathering phase and we need to engage you again! We invite your direct participation in these demonstrations and hope to encourage as much participation from the campus research community as possible.

Schedule

As the schedule shows, demonstrations are broken into subject-area sessions, allowing participants to choose those relevant to their role. In particular, please note: we’ve scheduled two identical sessions for each vendor, tailored to Principal Investigators as a means of accommodating schedules. Plenty of time will be allowed for open Q&A. All sessions will be held on Centennial Campus in the Monteith Research Center, room 136. Plenty of parking is available. In addition, the demonstrations will be streamed live on the eRA website.

Feedback

We are near the final stages of this important decision-making process. Success depends on having your input and feedback. Please make every effort to take advantage of this opportunity to contribute. Your time is very much appreciated.
