Spotlight on the Click Portal

The Click Portal automates the submission, review, and approval processes for a research protocol while managing all major administrative aspects of the research and compliance lifecycle – from proposal development and submission through compliance checks, negotiations, award setup and award management to eventual project closeout. 

We currently offer scheduled training sessions in specific active modules, and can work to schedule special group training sessions upon request.

For UB students and non-UB staff that need access to the Click Portal, please register for an account here.

Click Portal Implementation

Click automates the submission, review and approval processes while managing all major administrative aspects of the research and compliance lifecycle – from proposal development and submission through compliance checks, negotiations, award setup and award management to eventual project closeout. This system integrates the following aspects of grants management into a single system using the following modules:

Our goal is to reduce the administrative burden on researchers so they can devote their time to research while also assisting SUNY campuses in generating a higher volume of quality, compliant, collaborative and multi-disciplinary grant proposals. In following the research administration process from beginning to end, this platform allows us to achieve a new level of uniformity and efficiency, while also producing valuable data analytics that can guide future decisions.

How will Click benefit UB's researchers and research administrators?

  • Reduce effort and processing time for IRB, Safety and IACUC protocol creation and submission
  • Reduce effort and processing time for FCOI's
  • Grants Management that provides a consistent look and feel across all modules
  • Efficient development of Research Agreements
  • Enhanced reporting capabilities for all aspects of Research Administration
  • A user interface that is intuitive and easy to use
