Proposal Development (PD) will replace the legacy system PINS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re rolling out PD to campus in four cycles, which will follow the same basic schedule. Based on the results of a user survey, we\u2019ve assigned each affected unit to one of the four cycles. Our phased implementation approach aims to ensure each unit \u2014 and every PINS user \u2014 receives the help and support they need to smoothly transition into using PD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first rollout cycle is scheduled to run from August through November and will include the following units:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>College of Humanities and Social Sciences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>College of Natural Resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>College of Veterinary Medicine\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proposal Development Unit (PDU)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SPARCS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>RED U training courses will become available to all users beginning in mid-September. Aug. 19 until then will be dedicated to training PD Champions. Check the Research Education <a href=\"https:\/\/research.ncsu.edu\/research-education\/events\/month\/\">events calendar<\/a> to see when courses will be held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll follow up here and via email with details about how to register for system training \u2014 and which users should take which courses. Until you\u2019re instructed otherwise, you should continue to use PINS to submit proposals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit this <a href=\"https:\/\/research.ncsu.edu\/era\/pd-go-live-faq\/\">webpage<\/a> to learn more, including which rollout cycle each unit has been assigned and when it\u2019s scheduled to start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RED\u2019s PD module will replace the legacy system PINS.
