This half-day course provides an overview of Coeus pre-award and post-award databases. Students learn the major characteristics of the data in each one and the functionality of the Coeus Modules in which the data reside: Proposal Development, Institute Proposal, and Award Modules. While Coeus is widely known for use in the submission of requests for funding by JHU Investigators (Proposal Development Module), the security measure protecting Proposals thwarts a clear User understanding of departmental and enterprise pre-award data. And, while BW and Analysis provide extensive reporting on post-award activity, they do not possess the same ready access to pre-award data as Coeus. This course describes the major features of each database. And, through hands-on classroom exercises, gives students practical techniques by which to explore the data and understand the characteristics of each data-set.
This course will also introduce employees to the Coeus ‘ORIS Reporting’ system, how to use the Report Guide, and examine several of the more ‘popular’ reports generated by Coeus Users.
