ResearchSphere transforms how research universities and institutes navigate the complete sponsored project lifecycle — pairing cognitive opportunity intelligence with deterministic budget precision and zero disruption to your core financial system of record.
Lead PI: Dr. Kenneth Schumacher • Department: Biomedical Engineering • Budget: $2,485,210 (5-Year MTDC)
Run rate aligned with trailing 3-month burn. Zero unallowed encumbrances detected.
Automatic charge gate holds award spending if protocol expiration falls within 30 days.
Legacy research administration tools force institutions into high-risk, expensive replacements of their ERP systems. ResearchSphere provides the elite working layer PIs and research administrators love, while maintaining 100% financial fidelity with your core system of record.
Connect directly with federal and foundation portals (Grants.gov, Research.gov, private funders). The engine deconstructs complex solicitation guidelines into a verified, actionable compliance checklist and rule pack in seconds.
Empower PIs with a modern authoring workspace. Pre-validate against sponsor rules before submission, screen for sensitive or export-controlled terms, and auto-draft Current & Pending / Other Support straight from certified institutional effort.
Eliminate spreadsheet errors with multi-period cost escalation, automated MTDC calculation, negotiated DHHS/ONR F&A rates, and federal salary cap enforcement. AI drafts narrative budget justifications while the mathematical engine enforces absolute audit rigor.
Standardized DocuSign integration supporting PI certifications (embedded directly in the interface), department chair/dean approvals, subrecipient commitments, COI attestations, early-spending risk acknowledgments, and DUA/MTA agreements.
Automatically compare Notice of Award (NOA) documents against the original proposal. Discrepancies in funding, terms, or budget restrictions are immediately flagged, driving streamlined preliminary project activation and companion project generation in delivered ERP order.
Enforce Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.344) with an automated 120-day report clock, ledger-verified closeout checklists, and active IRB/IACUC protocol synchronization. Automatically alert administrators and gate charges before non-compliant costs hit the ledger.

National Institutes of Health (HHS-NIH11) • ALN: 93.855
Executive Level II ($221,900) enforced deterministically
Strict 1-page cutoff verified
Harmonized biographical sketch & active commitment check
Research administration succeeds when faculty, departmental staff, and central research leadership collaborate in harmony.
PIs receive a modern, intuitive workspace that handles the heavy lifting of compliance. Live rules validation guides you as you build, eliminating frantic last-minute revisions before the 5:00 PM deadline.
See how automating pre-flight validation, deterministic budgeting, and DocuSign routing frees faculty and staff from administrative overhead.
Reallocated toward competitive research and publication.
Direct labor efficiency & audit defense recovery.
Fatal errors eliminated prior to sponsor submission.
Research data, proprietary scientific narratives, and financial ledgers demand bank-grade security and zero-compromise privacy.
Your proposals, budgets, and research descriptions are strictly processed in private, dedicated institutional tenancies. Customer data is never used to train public or foundational AI models.
Engineered directly against Uniform Guidance standards: automated salary caps, MTDC exclusions, subrecipient monitoring, and 120-day closeout reporting.
Compatible with PeopleSoft FSCM Grants 9.2, Workday, Oracle ERP Cloud, and SAP. Financials, projects, and contracts remain safely anchored in your central institutional ledger.
Role-based and PI-scoped authorization prevents unauthorized access across research groups, supported by single sign-on (SSO / InCommon Federation).
