Funding call and proposal
Sponsor, mechanism, eligibility, investigator, team, collaborators, submission route, deadline, budget, facilities, attachments, and internal approvals.
A complete pre-award plan with accountable dependencies.Research funding operations
Research grant management from proposal to closeout
Give investigators, departments, research offices, finance, compliance, and project teams a shared view of proposals, approvals, awards, milestones, subawards, evidence, risks, sponsor reports, and next actions.
Jodoo can coordinate institution-specific work around the award while sponsor submission, ethics, finance, effort, and compliance systems remain authoritative.
- Investigator and institutional handoffs remain visible
- Ethics, disclosure, subaward, and sponsor dependencies become explicit
- Active awards open from milestone and reporting signals
Preserve the proposal, institutional approvals, award, and study obligations
Research funding adds investigators, sponsor rules, institutional reviews, subawards, and scientific milestones to the general grant lifecycle.
Institutional review
Conflict disclosure, ethics or IRB reference, data or security review, biosafety or animal review where relevant, department approval, and status.
Visibility into blockers without pretending Jodoo is the authoritative regulatory system.Award and subaward
Award number, period, budget reference, restrictions, terms, subrecipient, agreement, finance owner, project owner, and sponsor contact.
Clear handoff from proposal to active research delivery.Milestone and sponsor report
Scientific milestone, deliverable, data or evidence, due date, investigator owner, department input, finance input, submission ID, response, and follow-up.
A traceable post-award commitment record.Make research handoffs explicit before the sponsor deadline
Each role should know what it receives, what it must decide, and what it returns.
Principal investigator→Department and research office
Call, concept, team, partners, scope, budget assumptions, data needs, facilities, and submission plan.
Eligibility, internal timeline, required approvals, budget route, and responsible administrator.Research office→Compliance and finance
Protocol or disclosure context, sponsor terms, data or security needs, budget, subaward, and deadline.
Authoritative review status, conditions, finance references, and unresolved issues.Institution→Investigator and project team
Award terms, approved budget, milestone, reporting, subaward, evidence, communication, and change-control expectations.
Delivery owner, project plan, next obligation, risk, and sponsor follow-up.Surface dependencies that can stop submission or delivery
Do not hide compliance and institutional dependencies inside general task lists.
Ethics or regulatory approval pending
Why it matters
Research activity cannot proceed until the authoritative review is complete.
Next responseTrack the reference, owner, conditions, status, and dependency without duplicating the official review record.
Conflict or disclosure unresolved
Why it matters
The proposal or award cannot move safely through the institution.
Next responsePause the dependent work and record the authoritative resolution reference.
Subaward agreement late
Why it matters
A collaborator cannot begin or invoice as planned.
Next responseExpose the missing document, institution owner, collaborator action, and timeline impact.
Sponsor milestone or report at risk
Why it matters
Scientific, finance, or evidence inputs are incomplete.
Next responseCreate a dependency-based recovery plan and record sponsor communication.
Scope or budget change
Why it matters
The approved plan no longer matches research reality.
Next responseRoute institutional review and sponsor approval before changing the award record.
Coordinate the work without replacing sponsor, compliance, or finance authority
Keep the official decision in its specialist system, then give every investigator and administrator the status, reference, owner, and next action needed to move the award forward.
Coordinate in JodooUse specialist systems forConnect the work
Internal routing, dependencies, owner queues, milestone records, evidence requests, risks, and management views
Sponsor submission portals and funder systems
Store proposal or award identifiers, submission status, authoritative links, and next institutional action.Approval dependencies, conditions, due dates, and operating status
IRB, ethics, biosafety, animal care, disclosure, export-control, or data-governance systems
Reference the official review and retain only the minimum status needed for coordination.Budget context, finance questions, subaward workflow, and reporting dependencies
Research accounting, effort reporting, payroll, procurement, subrecipient monitoring, and financial compliance
Use official actuals and control references while Jodoo coordinates people and follow-up.Adapt the research workflow to sponsor and institution rules
A trained administrator can change the coordination layer while specialist approval systems remain stable.

Research grants need more than a general funding tracker.
What is research grant management software?
It coordinates funding calls, proposals, investigators, internal approvals, conflicts, ethics and compliance dependencies, budgets, submissions, awards, subawards, milestones, evidence, sponsor reports, changes, risks, and closeout across pre-award and post-award work.
Can Jodoo replace an IRB or sponsor submission system?
No. Use the official ethics, compliance, and sponsor systems for regulated decisions and submissions. Jodoo can manage the institution-specific coordination, dependencies, references, owners, deadlines, evidence requests, and follow-up around them.
Can departments use different research workflows?
Yes. Configure department or sponsor-specific fields, routes, roles, views, reminders, and dashboards while retaining common proposal and award identifiers for institutional reporting.
How should research finance data be handled?
Keep official transactions, actuals, effort, allowability, and financial reporting in the authorized systems. Bring only approved context and references into the workflow needed for decisions and follow-up.
Start with the handoff delaying one real proposal or award
Connect the investigator, institutional owner, authoritative approval reference, deadline, evidence, dependency, and next decision before expanding the system.
