RAMS-SPOT
(Research Administration Management System – Sponsored Programs Online Tracking)
The Division of Sponsored Programs utilizes RAMS-SPOT, a database and electronic submission and review system. RAMS-SPOT allows for paperless routing of all major project transactions, paperless record storage, in-system budgeting, in-system communications and reduces the need for forms. RAMS-SPOT allows investigators and administrators to readily monitor project review status. RAMS-SPOT has been implemented in phases, beginning in the spring of 2015.
