Cayuse Research Suite
Proposals, agreements for externally sponsored research, sponsored award fund management, and regulatory compliance applications for IRB, IBC, and IACUC are managed through the Cayuse Research Suite, which is accessed with investigators’ OU NetID and password. If you already have an OU login and cannot access the system, please contact the Research Office to be added to Cayuse. If you do not have an OU login, please contact your departmental administration to get one, and then contact the Research Office about getting access to Cayuse.
Note (August, 2024): The Human Ethics (IRB), Sponsored Projects (SP), Proposals (S2S), and Fund Manager Cayuse modules have recently moved to the integrated Cayuse platform, so the URL has changed. It is now http://oakland.app.

The Cayuse modules we currently have active are as follows:
- Sponsored Projects (SP). This is the module for starting a new project or proposal and having it routed for approval by department chairs, unit directors, deans, and the Research Office before the proposal is submitted to an external sponsor.
- Proposals (424). This module allows for direct submission of proposals (when the sponsor has made it available) to federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, etc.
- Animal Oversight. This module is for submission of protocols to the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) for projects involving research with animal subjects.
- Hazard Safety. This module is for submission of protocols to the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) for projects involving hazardous materials and/or biohazards.
- Human Ethics. This module is for submission of protocols to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for projects involving research with human subjects. All applications for human subjects research must be submitted to the IRB through this module.
- Fund Manager. This module integrates with Banner and tracks past, present, and future spend of sponsored awards.
