Important Updates

Sponsored Research Novelution Update

Phase 1 of our new software transition is complete; SRS and SPA offices are now using Novelution as our grants management system of record, including processing of award actions. Accordingly, the RAPID research summary reporting tool in use on campus is now reflecting proposal and award data directly from the Novelution system. In addition, in the coming weeks, you will start to receive certain email notifications regarding your awarded projects directly from the Novelution system and its associated email address sponsoredresearch@rit.edu.

Opportunity for Collaboration: Air Lift Challenge R&D Project

Air Lift Challenge: a brief description:

Airlifts demand the delivery of large sets of cargo into areas of need under tight deadlines. Yet, there are many obstacles preventing timely delivery. Airports have limited capacity to process airplanes, thus limiting throughput and potentially creating bottlenecks. Weather disruptions can cause delays or force airplanes to re-route. Unexpected cargo may be staged for an urgent delivery.
