[Researchnews] CORRECTION: PAMIS eCAF Sunset and Transition to KUALI

[VCREDadmin]

Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this message is to address some concerns regarding upcoming changes for proposal submissions and clarify the process to be followed during a transition period.
UC Riverside is transitioning to cloud-based research applications by Kuali to standardize the processes for research proposals, awards and subaward administration, and documentation across various departments.  Kuali is an integral part of Impact23; it will go live on July 5, 2023, and integrate with Oracle Project Portfolio Management.
The implementation of the new Kuali Research system will unavoidably require a transition period from the current PAMIS system in mid-June to the new one.  Research and Economic Development is fully aware of the inconvenience this will unfortunately create. Hence, to minimize the effects of this transition period on proposal submissions and taking in consideration feedback received from the senate leadership and several faculty members following the first communication on the subject by the Impact23 group, the attached transition processes will be implemented and is also located on the SPA Webpage at https://research.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/2023-05/ecaf-proposal-submission-transition-processes-may-2023.pdf.
I hope the process described therein will minimize business disruptions for researchers and their support staff and will ease their concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions.
I want to thank the senate leadership and several faculty members, who brought up their concerns and questions after the first communication on the subject by the Impact23 group. I also want to thank the dedicated staff in SPA for putting together a process for the transition period.
Best regards, and happy and successful submissions,

Rodolfo H. Torres
Vice Chancellor, Research & Economic Development
