Everything the center is doing, where everyone can see it.

Your current tools wait for you.

Cayuse, InfoEd, Interfolio, and the spreadsheet they sit next to have one thing in common. You log in, you enter data, you pull a report. Between those moments the center is still running, and every hour of keeping it running is yours.

Nobody knows what is going on

You send the update. Half of them read it. The new postdoc has not heard of the seminar series, two thrusts are duplicating a measurement, and the recommendation the advisory board made in May is still sitting with somebody who has forgotten.

After One place people go to see what the center is doing this week.

Scheduling anything takes a fortnight

Forty people, three departments, two institutions. The poll, the reminder about the poll, the room, the follow-up because six people never answered, and the six who turn up not having read the agenda.

After Invitations, reminders and agendas go out on their own schedule.

Nobody responds to your emails

You send data requests to fifty researchers. Three reply. You send reminders. Two more. You end up entering eighty percent of it yourself, out of email threads and hallway conversations.

After Researchers submit their own, and you can see at a glance who has not.

What a center actually has to keep track of.

People and teams

Every PI, postdoc, graduate student, and technician, with thrust assignments and mentorship chains. Demographics collected once and reported every year after.

Publications

DOI import from CrossRef, award acknowledgement verification, and bibliography generation in whatever format the agency asks for this year.

Outreach and broader impacts

REU and RET tracking with demographics, K-12 activity, workshop participation, and templates for the activity types NSF asks about.

Events and meetings

Seminars, workshops, retreats and industry days, with who came and what came of it. Advisory board recommendations tracked from the meeting they were made in to whatever was done about them.

Partnerships

Industry, academic, and government partners, with contribution tracking and agreement status, so the collaboration table writes itself.

Compliance

Deadline tracking, training status, disclosures, and subaward monitoring, with push to the agency portals so a publication is entered once rather than five times.

The public website

Researcher directory, publication listings, event calendar, all generated from the same records. The public site is current because everything behind it already is.

Center directors and PIs

See the whole operational picture. Know who is producing, who needs support, and how the annual report is shaping up, without adding another thing to your coordinator's week to find out.

Program coordinators

You are almost certainly doing two people's jobs. This one takes the chasing, the transcribing, and the version control, and leaves you the parts that need a person: the writing, the researchers, and the judgment calls.

Researchers and students
