There are a number of grant management systems offered by various suppliers. However, these general systems usually lack key elements required by scientific and medical research organisations.

 

The CC Grant Tracker system was originally developed for the management of medical research grants. The Association of International Cancer Research (AICR) has been using CC Grant Tracker since 2006. 

 

The system is entirely web based and allows first time applicants to submit preliminary and full applications in their own time. All communications with the applicants are tracked within the system.

 

The extensive and flexible peer review process allows organisations to design and manage multiple reviews with automatic prompts and reminders. The system provides the facility to maintain a database of qualified reviewers and can recommend relevant reviewers based on their record or characteristics.

 

All organisations have differing approval routines and sign-off procedures which CC Grant Tracker helps facilitate with boards and funding panels. All supporting documents, reviews, scores and recommendations can be tracked.

 

Following successful approval, the ongoing management of the grant is monitored by the system, providing complete record of payments made against cost forecasts and milestones for the projected lifetime of the grant.

 

All actions are audited by the system providing a complete record for audit and governance purposes.

 

CC Grant Tracker provides online reporting capability, giving instant access to real-time data. This ensures that management are kept fully informed of the current business environment.
