Project name
Research Proposal Authorisation System (RPAS) Enhancements 2023
UL Enable Digital Pillar
RPAS Enhancements 2023 is a project under the Teaching and Learning Systems Transformation Work Programme within the UL Enable IT Strategy. This pillar supports initiatives and projects that digitally enhance the teaching and learning environment within UL.
Project background
As a part of the University’s digital transformation, colleagues in OVPR, ITD and Finance developed the Research Proposal Authorisation System (RPAS), which provides a digital solution to support the research pre-award funding process at UL. This follow-on project incorporates additional workflow messaging and email communications to add clarity for Principal Investigators and Co-Applicants to navigate the system successfully.
What does RPAS mean for the UL community?
RPAS allows submission, collaboration, progress tracking, review, management and approval of the pre-award research funding applications. The implementation of the RPAS system replaced the previous paper process - Proposal Authorisation Form (PAF).
This follow-on RPAS project displays additional messaging regarding the workflows occurring within the system as the PI moves through the application as well as additional email notifications when workflows have completed. Training information has also been included in email notifications as well as reference to updated policies.
Project Update
This enhancements project is now closed, and all changes have been deployed to Live RPAS.
