Cayuse SP is Coming Soon!
You will soon have access to UNLV’s new proposal and awards system - Cayuse SP. We are in the final stages of loading and validating legacy data.
 
How will you use the system?
  • View legacy (last 5 fiscal years) proposals and awards.
  • Create new proposals.
  • Route a proposal for review and approval.
  • View the status and routing progress of a proposal.
  • View funded proposals and active awards based on your assigned role and Cost Center.
  • Deans and Chairs will be able to view all proposals and awards for their college.
  • Routing for new award and contracts (both competitive and non-competitive contract) for review and approval.
