RAMP Agreements: Go-Live Scheduled During the Week of November 12, 2019
We are preparing to launch the third RAMP module and greatly appreciate the time of researchers, administrators and project champions that participated in the RAMP Agreements testing sessions last month – we had roughly 60 attendees! As a reminder, RAMP Agreements allows for the electronic routing, review and approval of non-financial research agreements and subcontracts. RAMP Agreements will be available during the week of November 12 and at that time users can utilize the system to route their applicable agreements. Beginning December 2, it will be required for all applicable agreements to be requested/entered through RAMP Agreements.
Throughout the month of October, we will focus on providing training for central offices as well as the research community. All researchers and administrators are encouraged to attend one of the upcoming training workshops. The training will walk participants through the process of completing the online system prompts and demonstrate the workflow process for RAMP Agreements with ample opportunity for questions and answers. Guides will also be furnished through the RAMP Agreements Help Center and instructional videos will be provided at a later date.
Please email Angie Rowe at arrowe@fsu.edu to reserve your spot for one of the workshops listed below.

RAMP Grants: Development is Underway
The implementation of the fourth RAMP module continues as the project team has prioritized system requirements for RAMP Grants. Project team members are excited about the system functionality as it will allow for electronic proposal development and system-to-system submission, where available by sponsor. Subcontracts created in RAMP Agreements will be linked to awards generated through RAMP Grants. In addition, RAMP Grants will integrate with OMNI to automate the award setup process, allowing for more efficiencies and overall transparency throughout the award lifecycle. More information will be shared with campus at various meetings as we work toward an anticipated go-live date of July 1, 2020.
As always, please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns about RAMP.
