“The research portal has made it possible for me to directly access my finances and for the first time I can interact with financial administrators in a coherent way,” said Michael Stilman, assistant professor in the School of Interactive Computing. “It gives us a common language!”

This new application is just one of the ways that Georgia Tech is addressing the strategic plan goal of relentlessly pursuing institutional effectiveness. Instead of logging into dozens of different databases, researchers can visit MyResearchPortal to access all of the information they need.

“Think of it as being like a Grand Central Station for all your research information,” said David Moore, director of finance for the College of Sciences. “From contracting and compliance, to all the various other stages of research — MyResearchPortal is a one-stop-shop.”

MyResearchPortal brings together financial information on funds from different sources including federal, state, foundations, and industry. Users only have to log in once to find funding activity, subagreements, Institutional Review Board and other protocol expirations, pending proposals, deliverables, project balances, effort reporting, and cost sharing status.

Also, users can customize their MyResearchPortal experience such that information is displayed the way they want to see it.

“MyResearchPortal was developed based on feedback from the Georgia Tech faculty as one means to help reduce administrative burden,” said Steve Cross, Executive Vice President for Research. “So, as you use the tool, be sure to let us know if there are any new features that would be useful to you.”
