    The application procedure was the sole practical aspect of this software that actually benefited our organization. We had been using paper applications, but AmpliFund allowed us to completely digitize and streamline the process. Even though we had a few problems with reviewers not having the proper rights and had to contact multiple times to remedy this, this was still a useful service.

    Cayuse (SmartGrant) is well suited for institutions who have multiple grants and projects that need to be organized, tracked, and followed up with. The closing and sorting of projects is also helpful when using this software. Multiple signers also have access to approvals electronically which makes the process more simplified and accessible for all parties involved.

    We previously submitted our data via Excel, and everything went smoothly. I think the purpose of AmpliFund was to make it simpler for the grantor to integrate spending data from various grantees, but that never worked out for them.

    Cayuse (SmartGrant) has been in place at our institution for a while and we wouldn’t examine using anything else because it has been easy to work with, access, and stay organized with. Cayuse (SmartGrant) is also used for our office of research and is separate from our development software to keep everyone organized.
