Coeus training sessions announced
Three weeks of Coeus training will begin April 16 with "Getting Started in Coeus Premium," in preparation for upcoming June submissions. "Proposal Development in Coeus Premium" and "Users and Approvals in Coeus" will follow. PIs who wish to develop their own proposals in Coeus must attend, although attendance is not required for faculty members whose AOs or GMs develop proposals for them. Anyone who wants to develop a proposal in Coeus must attend all three training sessions (in order). Online training will be available for individuals who are required to approve proposals and for those who will only be uploading the research plan. Visit the Grants & Contracts Management website to register.
