Automating University-wide Research Administration
Welcome
AURA is an electronic research administrative system which facilitates the pre-award research administration activities on campus. AURA streamlines and automates research administration, allowing for process automation, electronic routing and approval, system-to-system submission to Grants.gov, and data warehouse reporting. The system will help reduce the administrative burden on faculty and staff as well as the regulatory compliance risk for the University.
