Kuali Coeus, The worlds first complete open source Pre and Post software application was released Friday May 14th.  To test drive the new version 2.0 release click here!  When prompted to login type "quickstart".

I'd ask that you read that last sentence again because it bears repeating. There has never been a FREE product that could provided pre and post award functionality to meet the needs of research institutions until now. Develop proposals, include proposals from outside the system, develop budgets, manage proposal and budget work flow electronically,  and finally submit via system to system.  If that's not enough you can then manage your awards with KC too! 

The finishing touches have been put on the functionality of the pre-award product with the inclusion of the Institute Proposal (IP) module that Coeus users know so well.  The previous release of Kuali Coeus (KC) was a complete proposal development (PD) module with the ability to submit system to system but IP completes the circuit. Many institutions have the need to summarize proposals developed using paper or other internal processes / systems and aren't yet ready to develop proposals within KC.  IP allows for these  types of proposals to be entered, tracked, and submitted.  All proposals wether developed within KC or imported ultimately create an IP (summary) record which allows for standardized reporting of the activity within your system even in the case of blended proposals (some from PD and IP).

If you're as excited about this news as we are please check out KC2010,  the conference we have planned this summer focused entirely on the Kuali Coeus product and what it can do for your institution. Click here for more details. 

We will also be unveiling our best in breed opportunity search tool Kwest in the coming months. Kwest will be integrated with KC to allow for automated proposal record creation from selected opportunities. No longer a need to search in multiple systems and then manually re-enter data into your proposal, eliminating wasted time and possible data entry errors.
