Research@MIT: An Atlas App for Researchers

Research@MIT is a new app in MIT’s flagship Atlas suite, offering users streamlined tools for research administration, collaboration, compliance, and innovation management. Designed for MIT principal investigators (PIs) and their administrative teams, the app draws on data from Kuali Coeus, SAP, and other enterprise systems to create a “PI dashboard.”

Research@MIT currently allows you to:

  • View available funds for each of your active sponsored research awards and drill down into categories of expenses incurred to date
  • View the status of your proposals submitted to sponsors, COUHES protocols, and requested non-disclosure and data-use agreements (NDAs and DUAs)

To download the app for your platform of choice, please visit https://apps.mit.edu
