November 2019 Project Update

The RAMP Agreements module has launched!

Researchers and administrators are encouraged to begin utilizing RAMP Agreements to take advantage of the electronic submission and review process for non-financial research agreements and outgoing subawards.  This module provides significant benefits, including but not limited to, transparency about the status of agreements, a central location for researchers to access agreements, reporting metrics, and the ability to link agreements to sponsored awards (once RAMP Grants is live in July 2020). 

RAMP Agreements can be accessed by signing into the myFSU portal, clicking the “RAMP” icon, and then clicking the Agreements tab within the system.  Beginning December 2, it will be required for all applicable agreements to be requested/entered through RAMP Agreements.

Training workshops were offered in October and November with hands-on exercises and guidance for using RAMP Agree ments.  If you were unable to attend the workshops, or need a refresher on training materials, please access the following resources:

  • PI Quick Reference Guide (available in RAMP Agreements within the Help Center tab)
  • How To Guides organized by each agreement type (available in RAMP Agreements within the Help Center tab)
  • Review the RAMP Agreements FAQs
  • For assistance completing the SmartForms (online agreements) or for technical assistance, email ramp-agreements@fsu.edu
