MYRA – My Research Administration One Stop Dashboard

Presentation Summary

Christine Ray, Indiana University

Indiana University has developed a web-based reporting tool called MyRA (My Research Administration) that allows principal investigators as well as administrative staff to view the status of sponsored project and compliance data. Components include: MyProposals - Lists proposals with a link to additional proposal details, attachment information, and status history; MyAwards - Lists awards by sponsor with links to expense summary for expenses and encumbrances compared to account budget, status of award receipt and negotiations, and related documents, and account administrator contact information; MyCompliance - Shows IRB approvals with protocol number along with approval and expiration dates. Similar modules for Conflict of Interest and IACUC are being developed; MyEducation - Shows scheduled and in progress courses taken through CITI and IU’s Office of Research Administration. MyRA was developed with cutting edge technology available including .NET 4.0, MVC, Web Services, AJAX, CSS, and a data warehouse. MyRA displays enterprise system data and homegrown system data in one cohesive user interface, including a Dashboard for graphs and charts. Since its inception, usage has grown campus wide at a steady pace.
