This tool provides specific views tailored to roles within the research community. The tool assists department managers in managing sponsored research portfolios across their organization. The faculty view provides principal investigators a portfolio summary as well as a detailed view of individual awards with expenses for all funds, awards and proposal documents as well as reporting, compliance, and final invoice deadlines.

In addition to moving the Post Award process paperless, the tool provides numerous alerts as well as visibility into projects in order to provide fast, accurate, and complete program administration.

The Office of Sponsored Programs performs daily management of awards using the system, which assists them with gathering information, complying with sponsor requirements, reconciling financial information, tracking project timelines, and accurately closing out projects. Department managers benefit from access to information in order to provide rapid customer service to their faculty.  Faculty members benefit from a central portal for access to current award details, expenses, for managing, reporting and compliance as well as extensions and budget needs.
Contact your Post-Award Associate for help/information regarding this system or contact the Office of Sponsored Programs at osp@vt.edu to provide feedback.

About Banner Document Management
The Banner Document Management (BDM) system integrates several enterprise applications for efficient document management. BDM is an integration of ApplicationXtender Web Access product from EMC Corporation, Banner and Banner Workflow products. 
ApplicationXtender Web Access (WX) is an excellent 'stand alone' document management system, but greater value is realized through the merging of WX with Banner and Banner Workflow. For example, a Banner Workflow can be initiated when a document is added, indexed, updated, or deleted. Users may also add or view ApplicationXtender Web Access documents directly from within Banner forms. Banner information can be passed to ApplicationXtender Web Access based on data on the current Banner Form reducing the need to manually enter index values. Document index value changes can initiate changes to Banner data or Banner Workflow as needed.
There are several solutions currently deployed that serve a variety of administrative units at Virginia Tech including the Controller's Office, Graduate School, Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, College of Engineering, Student Academic Advising, Travel and Expense, Student Conduct System and others.
 
BDM brings value to Virginia Tech

Reduce paper based content, saving storage space, time and cost
Index, tag and securely store documents and images
Easily search and retrieve electronic documents
Route documents for review and approval
Build better business processes

About Banner Workflow
Banner Workflow provides the university community with the ability to manage a paperless approval process without having to route paper between offices. Banner Workflow can pass electronic documents, information, and tasks from one person to the next for action based on your department’s processing preferences. 
We currently support business automation solutions using Banner Workflow for several departments at Virginia Tech including the Graduate School, the Controller's office, and the Human Resources office. These workflows allow users to process and route requests to the appropriate approvers electronically. 
Banner Workflow brings value to Virginia Tech:

Improved Communication between all Administrative Offices
Coordination of Data Entry

This tool has been designed to allow OSP Cost Share Fund Budgets to be submitted and tracked by Post Award Administrators, and for researchers and finance managers to view the resulting budgets. It is currently not possible to track cost sharing within Banner due to the complexities of the process, so this database serves as the primary repository of cost sharing information.

Data from the Cost Share Tracker is also summarized and included as part of the Proposal Authorization Notice (PAN) tool when appropriate.

Electronic Earnings and Deductions statements are available on Hokie TEAM each pay period for which you receive payment from VT. If you would like to stop receiving a printed paystub and wish to begin using the web to access this information, select Yes by checking the box on the first option below. 

You may elect to receive an email notification that your Earnings and Deductions statement is available electronically on Hokie TEAM.

File Drop is designed to allow researchers, faculty, other Virginia Tech affiliated individuals and non-VT individuals to upload files to any staff member working in Office for Research, including the Office of Research Compliance, the Office of Sponsored Programs and other units. This is an excellent solution for files that are too large for email. This site allows you to securely upload large files quickly and easily to individuals within the Office for Research. There is no need to manage permissions or setup shares, simply select the individual you want to send a file to, browse to the file and click upload. The recipient will be notified by email.

Since File Drop is developed and hosted internally within the university, it is compliant with university data protection policies, and avoids the need to put sensitive Virginia Tech information into the hands of third-party file transfer sites.

Files up to several hundred megabytes are supported for logged in users, and File Drop can be authorized, on a case by case basis, to facilitate the transfer of larger files with the sponsor during project setup and termination. Arrangements can be made through your OSP representative.

IACUC Protocol Management is a web-based system that allows researchers (both VT and non-VT) to review a list of all active and closed IACUC protocols online, check the training status of all personnel associated with the protocol, participate in the annual review online and request the closing of a protocol.

The system sends out the following alerts to the researchers: 1. 60 days before their protocol will expire an email is sent, 2. a notice is sent once the protocol expires and 3. sends out emails that the annual review is open and sends out another email two weeks later.

Contact the IACUC office at iacuc@vt.edu with any questions regarding your protocol status, training status or annual review process, and the IACUC administrator, strout@vt.edu , with questions regarding protocol design and development.

Limited Submission funding opportunities refer to projects for which the sponsor has requested that an institution only submit a limited number of proposals, typically one. The sponsors expect the university to internally select their best proposal and ensure that it is the only one submitted.

This web application is used to notify users of Limited Submission deadlines, to allow researchers to register an interest in an opportunity, and to manage the selection process for the final successful submission. The system also automatically notifies the Office of Sponsored Programs once the review process is complete. Programs will be put on the Limited Submissions Calendar under the month that the first internal Virginia Tech deadline occurs. Be sure to check the calendar often, new programs will be added as the information becomes available to us.

This tool has been designed to support the management of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training notifications, non-compliance letters and RCR training requirements for certain NIH and NSF sponsored projects. Researchers can log into review the certification status of themselves as well as their projects. Compliance with training requirements is critical in continuing to receive funding from sponsors, and it is the responsibility of the researcher to ensure training is up to date.

This tool will assist in the process through automated notifications and training tracking for individuals performing research that is covered under these regulations.

At Virginia Tech, students are encouraged to focus on their gifts and talents, honing them into true strengths. This is a departure from the status quo practice of focusing on weaknesses. Research shows that people are much more engaged when they work within their strengths. The Division of Student Affairs has partnered with Gallup® to became the first university in the nation to offer the Clifton StrengthsFinder® to all students and employees. The assessment tool provides the knowledge and vocabulary to describe an individual's strengths and the areas in which they excel.

Students who know their strengths will be able to engage with and explore the Aspirations for Student Learning at a more personal level. Through this exploration, students can be intentional in investing in their strengths, expanding their curiosities, and putting this newfound knowledge to use to better themselves and the world around them.

Create a surplus property disposal request by completing the form. A surplus label to identify the item(s) should be attached to the item(s) surplused.

A separate request must be completed for each Virginia Tech asset (i.e. barcoded item)
Non-assets may be grouped on the same request, provided they are like items (i.e. chairs on one request, file cabinets on one request, etc.)
For non-assets, use "N/A" in the Virginia Tech asset number field
For descriptions of fields click on the field title
Once the request is created, the designated approver can log into the system and either approve or decline the request by using the “Approve” link in the menu bar. A daily notification will be emailed to an approver with at least one pending surplus request. Requestor’s can check the status of the request by clicking the “History” link in the menu bar.

The Office of Export and Secure Research Compliance (OESRC) supports Virginia Tech's commitment to complying with U.S. laws and regulations applicable to export and trade sanctions. OESRC works with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and other University departments to ensure compliance with regulations promulgated by the regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Department of State, Department of Commerce, and the Department of the Treasury.  If an export assessment determines that an activity is subject to these regulations, OESRC will assist the affected party in setting up security measures and protocols needed to ensure compliance with export and sanction regulations through the establishment of a Technology Control Plan (TCP) or other certification document.

The Technology Control Plan details the export control classification, restriction on release of information, physical and information security protocols, and screening, training and acknowledgment requirements from all project personnel.  OESRC will monitor project related activity throughout the life of the TCP and the Principal Investigator or TCP Custodian will be required to disposition all controlled items before close out of the TCP.

If you are a signatory to a TCP, you may view documents, information, and training/acknowledgement status of personnel on the TCP Review website.

Because we do business with the government, we must reach out to, hire, and provide equal opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. To help us measure how well we are doing, we are asking you to tell us if you have a disability or if you have ever had a disability. Completing this form is voluntary, but we hope that you will choose to fill it out. If you are applying for a job, any answer you give will be kept private and will not be used against you in any way.

If you already work for us, your answer will not be used against you in any way. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we are required to ask all of our employees to update their information every five years. You may voluntarily self-identify as having a disability on this form without fear of any punishment because you did not identify as having a disability earlier.
