Automating University-wide Research Administration
AURA is an electronic research administrative system which facilitates 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 helps reduce administrative burden on faculty and staff as well as the regulatory compliance risk for the University.
Need to add someone to AURA?
Starting January 7th, registration for AURA will be automated. This means that everyone with an active CNetID or UCHAD ID can now sign into AURA directly, without registering with AURA-help@uchicago.edu. Beginning January 7th, we'd ask that you encourage all new students and study staff members, who do not yet appear in AURA, to first log in at aura.uchicago.edu before requesting access via aura-help@uchicago.edu or via the request form. The system should create their account instantly, with no request needed.
Additionally, any students and staff wishing to use AURA, may now register themselves, by logging into the appropriate module with their UC username and password.
