Cayuse User Guides and Resources

Cayuse Proposals (S2S) is the system-to-system solution Stanford and 150+ peer institutions use to prepare and submit federal applications to the Grants.gov portal.  

Stanford does NOT use Workspace.  If a funding announcement advises applications must be prepared in Workspace and/or Grants.gov, prepare the application in Stanford's Cayuse.

Stanford Cayuse User access is granted by submitting a HelpSU ticket to the SeRA Support Team.  Once access is granted, Stanford's Cayuse system can easily be accessed from SeRA. 

• From the SeRA Navigate dropdown menu select Cayuse.
• If you have previously been granted Stanford Cayuse access, a new browser tab will open to your Proposals page of Cayuse. 
• If you are prompted for any Cayuse specific login credentials, please submit a HelpSU ticket for Cayuse access to the SeRA Support Team, and a SeRA Support Analyst will respond to you shortly.

NOTE: For submissions to the National Science Foundation (NSF), Stanford strongly recommends using Research.gov.  Additionally, to be able to submit to the NSF, applicants need to first self-register for an NSF account.  Department administrators can also register for an NSF account to be able to login to Research.gov and support their investigators.  NSF Account Registration information and assistance.

Cayuse Institutional Profiles Guide - Stanford’s Institutional Profile in Cayuse is maintained by OSR. Please do NOT make any edits to this profile.

If a department elects, on behalf of a subrecipient institution, to create and complete in a Stanford’s Cayuse application the subaward form pages as opposed to importing them from a subrecipient institution, then the department within Stanford's Cayuse will need to create both an institutional profile for the subrecipient institution as well as people profiles for all subrecipient key personnel.  Departments do NOT need to create subrecipient institutional and/or people profiles in Stanford’s Cayuse if they will be importing completed subaward form pages received from a subrecipient institution.  See the Cayuse Outgoing Subawards Guide for more information about creating and/or importing subaward form pages.
