In 2016, the Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP) office implemented the Cayuse Research Suite to streamline proposal development and award processes. All proposals for extramural funding begin with a record in Cayuse SP. Faculty and administrators use their CSUN credentials to log in.
Cayuse SP is the electronic system of record for all sponsored programs proposals. Electronic records are accessible to PIs, Department Chairs, DFOs, College Deans, and CSUN research administration staff.
Note: Student investigators should request Cayuse access using this form.
