April 2020 Project Update

RAMP Grants remains on track for our scheduled go-live date of July 1, 2020.  The project team is reviewing the testing feedback logged by attendees from central offices, researchers, administrators and college leadership to design training materials.  The training curriculum will include how to guides, user manuals, quick reference sheets and videos, as well as recorded online training sessions.  Our training topics have been segmented based on suggestions made during testing sessions and we greatly appreciate the input.  The training schedule has been published on the RAMP project website and can be accessed by clicking here.  Registration links are listed next to each session and you will receive the Zoom meeting information once registered.

The RAMP IRB module will be upgraded in May and minor updates will be made to the Agreements and ACUC modules to improve functionality. Testing for the changes to each of the modules are running concurrent throughout the month of April and will allow ample time to ensure the upgrade and changes are well tested and stable. The current modules will be unaffected since a separate testing website has been built.

Please consider joining us for our virtual town hall meetings, which provide an excellent opportunity to stay informed on the latest information related to the rollout of the Grants module.  There will be plenty of time to ask questions and have concerns addressed.  Your continued engagement is necessary for the successful transition to our new system!
