Researcher Self-Service Page

Improved navigation has been developed for researchers and research administrators – using the Researcher Self-Service Page. When a researcher or research administrator logs into PeopleSoft, his/her access will typically default to the Researcher Self-Service Page. From this page, access is available to the Researcher Home Page, Researcher Training Resources and eTRAC Home. What individuals see on these pages is based upon their security roles in PeopleSoft.

Researcher Home Page (RHP)

The Researcher Home Page is designed to provide researchers with access to their active Projects and pending Proposals. Research administrators will also have access, but will need to use the advanced search function to Projects and Proposals they are entitled to view based upon their security clearance.

The Researcher Home Page provides a snapshot view of the status of a researcher’s active Projects – name and ID number, end date, total award value, SpeedCode and, most importantly, current funds available. Clicking on the Project ID will link a researcher to a Financial Overview - Flash Report containing more budget details on individual projects.

For their pending Proposals, researchers will see the name and ID number, the sponsor and the proposal status.

eTRAC

eTRAC is the Electronic Tracking of Research Awards and Contracts system. This system was developed in advance of Grants 2.0 and provides a number of financial reports related to research projects. eTRAC will continue to exist with the new Grants 2.0 system, but some of the reports have been altered to remove redundant information. eTRAC will be accessible through the Researcher Self-Service Page or, for specific Projects, directly from the relevant Financial Overview – Flash Report on the Researcher Home Page.

Log-In and Training Assistance

Researchers and research administrators may log-in to the Researcher Home Page or eTRAC via the button shown on this page.

Self-help training materials on Grants 2.0 and the Researcher Home Page are available on the Grants 2.0 Training Materials page

For issues with eTRAC and/or PeopleSoft, the Helpdesk phone number is 780-401-9702, and the email address is uofahelp@ca.ibm.com.
