This modern system is a web-based, collaborative environment with eight modules currently implemented: Proposals, Awards, Human Subjects, Conflicts of Interest, Agreements, External Entities, SubAwards, and Technology Transfer. There are three potential forthcoming modules: Post Award Management, IACUC, and IBC (Environmental Safety).
NEW FEATURE
We're excited to introduce a new tool on the OSPREY homepage – the Fringe Rate Estimator Widget! This widget is designed to help researchers quickly estimate fringe rates for budgeting purposes during the early stages of proposal development. This new feature allows users to:
- Get a quick estimate of fringe rates for various personnel types
- Improve preliminary budget planning for sponsored projects
- Save time when drafting proposals
Please Note: This tool is for estimation purposes only and may not be 100% accurate. The final fringe rate should always be calculated using the OSPREY Proposal Development System, which ensures precision and compliance with institutional guidelines.
If you have questions or feedback, please reach out to the SPARC Office.
