Welcome to the Office of Research Information Management

March 15, 2010 - Later this month the InfoEd system will begin using the CaneID Authentication Service (CAS). CAS provides a central authentication service which enables users to log in once using a "single sign-on" and access multiple University of Miami systems. Once we move to CAS, users will access InfoEd via their Cane ID and password, instead of using a specific InfoEd username and password. Note: New InfoEd users will continue to complete the InfoEd New Profile request form to obtain access to the InfoEd modules, however, usernames and passwords will no longer be provided by InfoEd.

February 2010 - If you are preparing an NIH application in InfoEd using the new Adobe B forms please read our PD changes for Adobe B forms documentation which is intended as a quick reference guide regarding changes in the InfoEd Proposal Development system to accomodate the new Adobe B forms used by NIH (effective January 25, 2010).

January 20th, 2010 - The Office of Research Information Management has revised their InfoEd Adobe B form FAQ's. Please refer to the following answers instead of the answers posted December 1st on this website.

Can we use InfoEd Proposal Development to prepare NIH applications using the new Adobe B forms?Yes, the InfoEd Proposal Development system received a minor upgrade to accommodate the new Adobe B forms.  Effective January 14 you may use InfoEd to prepare and submit an NIH application with the new forms.

I have already started my application in InfoEd using the old NIH (Adobe A) forms.  How do I get the new Adobe B forms now?Go to the Setup Questions and re-select the Funding Opportunity Number in your proposal.  Once the screen refreshes, the system will provide the new Adobe B forms for you.   You may then upload the additional documents required with the new forms, and complete the proposal preparation.  NOTE:  Please be certain when selecting a parent announcement (PA) that you select the new NIH parent announcements for any proposal due on/after Jan 25.  For additional information on the reissued parent announcements and new NIH forms, see http://www6.miami.edu/UMH/CDA/UMH_Main/1,1770,2425-1;66663-3,00.html.

Can I make a copy an existing proposal in InfoEd when preparing a new submission using the new forms?No, during the transition period from NIH Adobe A to Adobe B forms it is not possible to make a copy of an existing proposal previously submitted.  This feature will again be available in the coming months after we have transitioned to the new forms.

How do I know which forms to use? Based upon the Funding Opportunity selected the InfoEd system will supply the correct set of forms for your proposal.  Note:  All NIH proposals will require the new Adobe B forms on/after January 25, 2010.
 

January 14th, 2010 - UPDATE: After a successful upgrade we'd like to inform you that InfoEd is up and running as of this morning. If you find yourself having any trouble with usual system functionality please send an e-mail to resinfo@med.miami.edu describing your situation and we'll follow up with you as soon as possible.

January 7th, 2010–  The University of Miami is scheduled to receive an upgrade to the entire InfoEd system on Wednesday, January 13. The InfoEd system will be unavailable all day on January 13. There may be additional sporadic down time shortly thereafter if further testing or fixes to the system are required. Please mark your calendars and plan accordingly.

The upgrade will introduce additional capability that will allow submission of NIH applications that require the new Adobe B form formats. For more information regarding NIH changes to application forms please visit this link.  

Please stay tuned for additional information regarding upcoming InfoEd changes and opportunities to learn more about them. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our office at 305-243-2314.
