Novelution
Florida Atlantic’s Online Proposal Submission System is NOW LIVE!
What is Novelution?
Novelution is Florida Atlantic’s new Research Management System which provides an intuitive, web-based platform for electronic research administration.
Novelution’s integrated modules are specifically designed and tailored to ensure faculty, staff and research administrator’s needs are met, while eliminating inefficiencies and burdens. As a centralized research management system, many of the past administrative and compliance functions will be housed and managed in one location.
Florida Atlantic’s Sponsored Research module is the first to be released by Novelution. Early adopters from various colleges are testing the system and providing valuable feedback for a successful launch. Plans to rollout additional compliance modules include, Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI), Institutional Review Board (IRB), Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and Animal Care. The FCOI module is already underway.
