Projects to be Prioritized

Iniative Status
Annual Sponsor Reporting — Make it easy to gather the administrative data needed for sponsor reports. e.g.: the the expenses and people funded on the project during a given project year. To Be Prioritized
Encumbrances For Sponsored Projects — Improve the accuracy of balances with encumbrances so they much more accurately reflect the remaining money to spend in the current period on sponsored projects. We're exploring having the encumbrances run to the end of the current commited period for sponsored projects rather than the fiscal year. For all accounts, reflect anticipated earnings costing changes and rehire commitments for appointments in Workday. To Be Prioritized
Task Launch Pad — Make it easy for Faculty to launch the applications they need to complete common tasks. Where possible take them to the relevant page to address the specific task and organize the list for easy navigation and searching. To Be Prioritized
Invention Portal — Allow faculty to submit and review their invention disclosures and other invention related data. To Be Prioritized
Project Financial Planning — Address the most common request we here from faculty, "How much money do I have left to spend on this project?" This will involve many releases and probably take several years to realize fully. The goal is to allow PIs and RAs to work together to create a financial plan for the project and see the remaining "spendable balances". Early releases will probably focus on helping RAs create financial planning spreadsheets. Later releases will include planning functionality in the web interfaces. The ultimate goal may be to allow faculty to develop scenarios, such as what happens if I hire a postdoc, to reveiw with their RA, adjust as needed, and encorporate in the targeted plan.

Honorific Awards Portal — Incorporate the honorific awards management functionality currently delivered in the existing prototype available at FacultyAwardsPortal.research.cornell.edu. To Be Prioritized
List Faculty Research Activity — This is intended to support faculty while they write their annual college performance report. It will list the research activity captured by University systems for the last five years. Data may may include: Proposals Submitted, Awards Won, Research Expenditures, Honorific Awards Won, Invention Disclosures Submitted, Grad Students Advised, etc. Activity metrics may be summarized at the department and college level as well. To Be Prioritized
RA Dashboard Relpacement — Provide support for research administrators currently provided by the RA Dashboard; Support the full accounting access model; Recreate the RA Dashboard reports. To Be Prioritized
Protocols, MUAs, etc. — Show protocols, their status and dates, who is on them, etc. To Be Prioritized
Training status — Display training assignments and completion status for PI and research group members To Be Prioritized
Facilities — Provide information for spaces assigned to PIs including some or all of the following: hazards, equipment, who has access, etc. To Be Prioritized
Action List — Display tasks that should be addressed by the viewer, optionally email the task list. Sources of tasks will eventually include: Tasks required to implement a forecast scenario (e.g.: hiring, labor distribution changes, purchases, etc. included in scenario); Approval requests from central systems (e.g.: approve travel reimbursments in Cynergy); Tasks identified by a rules engine (e.g.: upcoming project end and renewal dates, progress reports, protocol renewals, questionable transactions that should be reviewed, etc.) To Be Prioritized
