Sponsored Research Compliance Software

Q: What is sponsored research compliance software?

It manages the people, reviews, deadlines, evidence, and approvals required to follow sponsor terms, federal rules, and institutional policy across externally funded research. The workflow layer connects obligations to accountable work.

Q: Does Process Street replace an eRA system?

No. Keep an eRA platform as the source of record for proposals, budgets, submissions, awards, and specialized research data. Use Process Street to run cross-functional compliance work around those records.

Q: Which sponsored research workflows should we automate first?

Start with repeatable, deadline-sensitive work such as proposal compliance checks, award setup, prior approvals, subrecipient monitoring, effort certification, sponsor reports, and award closeout.

Q: How is this different from general grant compliance software?

Sponsored research compliance is narrower. It focuses on research institutions, externally funded projects, investigator responsibilities, sponsor requirements, research-specific ancillary reviews, subawards, and the proposal-to-closeout lifecycle.

Q: What sponsored research proof is available?

NC State used Process Street for technology licensing and federal compliance workflows across its research operation. The team made federal utilization reporting faster and retained a traceable record of specialized compliance work.

Sponsored research compliance software turns sponsor terms, institutional policies, and award conditions into assigned work from proposal review through closeout. Process Street routes checks, approvals, evidence, reminders, and exceptions around your existing research administration and finance systems, so every requirement has an owner and completion record.

GOVERN THE AWARD LIFECYCLE

Turn an award notice into owned, dated work

An award notice lands and the obligations scatter. The investigator owes a progress report, sponsored programs owes a subrecipient risk assessment, research finance needs cost share documented, and procurement has a sole-source justification sitting unreviewed. They sit with different people on different clocks, and nobody sees the whole picture until a sponsor deadline passes. Process Street turns each requirement into an owned task with a due date, required evidence, routed pre-award and post-award reviews, escalation when dates slip, and a preserved record of every decision. It runs as the governed execution layer around eRA, accounting, protocol, HR, procurement, and document systems. Choose a specialist research administration suite when proposal budgeting, system-to-system submission, institutional award records, sponsor billing, or protocol databases are the primary need.
