The first three modules of the new WVU Research Administration Portal — Grants, Agreements and Conflict of Interest — are expected to go live in January 2025. These modules are integrated to help decrease duplicative data entry, expedite approval time and improve transparency of submission status.

Research reviews are a collaborative effort involving multiple departments to ensure compliance with institutional and regulatory requirements. The project team has worked closely with various departments, including department/college pre-award staff, Shared Services, Information Technology Services, West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute, Office of the General Counsel, Finance, WVU Libraries, HSC-Environmental Health and Safety, Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Office of Sponsored Programs and the Research Office compliance departments. This collective effort has been instrumental in completing the initial requirements phase.
Interactive sessions will be offered this summer for the research community. These sessions will provide an opportunity to see and interact with the system firsthand, ensuring that you are well-informed and included in the process. More information on these sessions will be provided soon.
