Sponsored Programs System of Record

InfoEd is BMC's sponsored program (SP) management system of record, housing critical data and documents crucial for managing SP activities. It plays a pivotal role during audits, facilitating retrieval and examination of key documents for testing regulatory compliance.

If you're not already a regular user, here are the top ten reasons to familiarize yourself with InfoEd soon:

• Use of InfoEd is required for all SPs, whether internally or externally funded
• Its proposal development and submission routing workflow has just been launched; the video training takes only 30 minutes; and the InfoEd Routing Manual is great for refreshers
• Everyone involved in the proposal process, including PI/PDs, chiefs/chairs, proposal developers, and contract and proposal reviewers, needs to use InfoEd
• InfoEd:
  • Serves as a repository for required elements during proposal development and submission
  • Allows shared access to proposal and award data elements, award and amendment documents, sponsor approvals, and other critical correspondence
  • Generates reports of proposal activity, awards, success rates, etc.
  • Provides access to SPIN, BMC's search tool for locating funding
  • Retains SP records in one location
  • Eliminates the need to track proposal-related emails, and,
• In future developments, we aim to enhance administrative tasks for all SP roles across the grant lifecycle.*

*Financial data are housed in Infor, BMC's financial system of record, and clinical trials data are housed in VelosCT, BMC's clinical research management system.
