RASCAL Grants and Agreements
Manne Research Institute uses the Research Administration System for Compliance and Awards at Lurie Children’s (RASCAL) for processing and managing sponsored projects, including direct submission of Federal research proposals to Grants.gov.
RASCAL is a centralized system for all project records including IRB, funding proposals, awards, and research agreements. All project records are easily accessible for research administrators, principal investigators, and departmental and division leadership. RASCAL also provides electronic routing and approval for sponsored program proposals and documents, streamlining communications and providing real-time insights into project statuses.
