Grants Management
Xythos helps accelerate e-grant collaboration at research organizations by providing workspaces for grant preparation. These workspaces provide file-level access control, auditing and email integration, so that researchers can be immediately notified when a new document is uploaded or an existing document is updated within a workspace. Xythos also offers automatic file versioning, eliminating confusion over what the latest version of a submission is or where it is stored. Finally, workflow controls keep submissions on schedule with easy-to-use document routing, review and approval features.
For post-grant management, Xythos provides a secure, auditable workspace to store completed research reports and grant proposals. Important research results can be preserved according to institutional or government guidelines with Xythos’ DoD 5015.2-compliant records management features. As an integrated document and records management solution, Xythos offers a common storage repository for grant requests, historical proposals and document preparation artifacts.
Xythos also assists technology transfer when its time to move research out of the lab. Xythos’ WebDAV-compliant server functions as a secure, web-enabled extranet for exchanging research-related content and technology with external partners. Instead of setting up an FTP site, research teams can securely exchange research results, software code and other digital assets—knowing they can be tracked and protected. Record retention and disposition rules can also be applied to any information stored within a Xythos system so that researchers can comply with guidelines regarding research data storage, archiving and elimination.
