Research Development Officer

We also used it for our university's research ramp-up processes during the pandemic, which was a super helpful because each researcher could access their documents over time and add additional information using the progress report features.

Administrative Coordinator

A software package cannot provide or meet every function since each customer has competing demands, but it has the core functionality that greatly improved the submission process from the previous Outlook email process.  

Associate Director of Research Development

We have seen a significant decrease in the FTE needed to manage competitions for internal grants and limited submission competitions, which allows us to focus staff time on other important tasks.

Director, Grant and Foundation Development

System provides standardized emails distributed to all applicants (funded and not funded), while minimizing need to generate emails from personal email box.

Manager, Research Support

It facilitates our review process for all applications, as well as notifying our applicants about the status/determination of their applications.

Deputy Associate Director for Administration

We love streamlining our pilot grant application process, keeping all information in InfoReady, and being easily able to download information about applicants.

Student Services Coordinator

The ability to customize notifications that are sent automatically is great, as is the ability to export application data to Excel.

associate director financial aid and scholarships

It worked for our onetime project; to gather one piece of information from students to award funds that did not require assessment of applicants against each other.

IT Product Manager

I would like to have easier ways to view an application the way an applicant would see it, see the email that was sent to each letter writer, see the emails that went out to reviewers, etc.

Accountant

However, we are not using this software daily (when the competition is not active), more often monthly and quarterly. When we are using it, we will need to understand the new features and how they will impact our competition.

My department uses it sort of eccentrically, for an application approval process rather than for "competitions", so the default text sometimes confuses folks.

Research Support Coordinator

To capture updated edits, a workaround is used on another (internal and separate) platform to ensure the comments remain anonymous.

Program and Systems Manager

This allows me to quickly see details in each competition and assists in managing competitive competitions.

Program Administration Specialist 

From our tenured faculty to our undergraduate students,  the InfoReady is easy to submit applications for funding competitions and it has certainly saved our team hours of time processing applications by hand.

Sometimes run into difficulties downloading files (i.e. progress reports where there may be a blend of excel files and PDFs included)

Employer Relations Coordinator

I use this software to track grants that we offer to various academic departments.

alliance amanager

faculty are very busy and it helps to not have to require people to go back to fix small details when I can  complete that for them.

Senior Grants & Contracts Administrator

Occasionally the user interface is perhaps too smart for its own good, and I have to rework forms and templates to get things to fit right.

Manager, COM Support Services 

The routing feature has had some hang ups for my particular needs but usually there is a work around that I can get the applications to the correct person.

Research Education & Training Program Manager

Each project is given a new ID number if they resubmit and it's frustrating to track and find and associate them together.

wish i could add archived applications into system to save information from awardees before switching to infoready.

Communications Manager

InfoReady Review greatly streamlines the advertisement and management of funding competitions (application management).

Research Administrative Corrdinator

The ease at running reports, uploading a competition, looking for prior competitions and getting reviews completed are user friendly

The inability to send an application back to the PI to update is high on my list of enhancements.  

It can be tricky to view parts of the system the way another user would see it (applicant, letter writer, reviewer, etc).  

Student Technician

I don't like the UI, it is super clunky and there is a lot of hard coded things that would be nice if we were able to edit.

It's become a staple for our internal grant review process (largely limiteds and internal funding opportunities).  

Director of Research Development

This product was designed specifically for university seed money grants and limited competition management.

Associate Vice President

Anything that requires a review process whether by individuals or review teams can be managed with the software.

By that I mean it would be nice if there was away to make questions that only showed to applicants if they selected a certain answer to the previous questions.

It allows our researchers to find funding opportunities in one place.

The fact that reviewers are not allowed to update their comments after submitting their original critiques is awkward.

Also, we appreciate the attentive customer service team and the great webinars that make using the platform an even better experience.

InfoReady is a great tool that we use to help manage our Limited Submission competitions!

I also wish you could edit the button text and other default text.

A lot of the issues have been solved through customer support although there are still some requests that we are waiting on being implemented.

Program Manager II

Some of the suggested features seem to take long to be implemented, although they were already in the backlog when they were brought up.

Research Support Liaison 

The internal review intake has failed, listing reviews from incorrect reviewers.

Research Operations Analyst

I liked seeing a table on the home page of the research competitions available for me to see as a user.

Director of Research Services

The notifications that a review has been assigned don't go out to all reviewers the same way.

There are still some areas where it is not very intuitive to use for administrators (compared to end users), but we've been able to figure it out.

Director - Community Engagement

We've enjoyed using the platform for grant based and internal application processes.

Lead Administrator

There weren't very many days that I wasn't using InfoReady because processes were always being moved into the InfoReady system.

We cannot transfer an application from an original applicant to another.

We have about 300 different programs offered and the designated reviewer for certain roles  change often.

I don't want faculty getting "you submitted an application email" it would cause a lot of confusion.

Assistant Director of Research Development

We have a number of users across the institution who use InfoReady Review, and they all found it easy to learn and implement in their units.

It was very easy for us to implement InfoReady to handle a variety of different application processes and teams.
