RED: Sponsored Programs (SP) Modules

RED’s first Sponsored Programs (SP) modules, which launched in August 2023, include the Proposal Tracking (PT) functionality of the Proposals module as well as the Post Award Management (PAM) module. PT/PAM manage processes and transactions connected to project records. PT/PAM work with the Sponsored Research Activity Reporting (SRAR) viewer to replace the functionality of the legacy system RADAR.
