System Applications

Grants Management Application Suite (GMAS) 

GMAS is the University’s system of record for sponsored proposals, submissions, awards, financials, and documentation related to sponsored projects. 

Sponsored Research Administrators (SRA) use GMAS to be able to submit applications and other request types for approval. The Department's Authorized Requestor should request GMAS access for the SRA from Financial Systems Solutions (FSS). Once access is confirmed, users log in to GMAS using their Harvard ID and PIN.

All Investigators are automatically given access to GMAS to sign off on their own proposals. 

Federal Sponsor Systems

Federal sponsors use a variety of systems. See OSP’s on Registering for sponsors systems to obtain access to the following: 

• NIH eRA Commons/Assist ID
• NSF Research.gov ID
• ProposalCentral Account
• Workspace/Grants.gov Account 

When preparing a proposal, it is important to plan ahead to ensure that PI’s, department administrators, and other key personnel have appropriate access to sponsors’ systems and portals, to submit, view, and update proposal submissions and subsequent required documentation.
