Beaver Research Hub Support

Overview

OSU uses the Beaver Research Hub as its web-based proposal, routing, approval and records system.

The Beaver Research Hub has some in-system guidance available as you prepare a proposal. The OSRAA Proposals Team is also available for guidance and general support. Most colleges and some other non-academic units on campus have Pre-Award research administration staff available to help navigate the proposal process as well. Please contact your applicable CARE support staff or [email protected] for assistance.

Quick Tips

• Preliminary proposals / pre-applications and LOIs are only routed through the Hub when AOR authorization, signature or submission is required. Read more about this process here.
• The Beaver Research Hub can be accessed on various browsers on either Windows or Macintosh systems.
• When you log into the Beaver Research Hub, in the top menu, click on "Projects." Then, in the left-hand menu, click on "Grants" and "+CREATE" at the top of the menu. This will initiate a new Proposal record. 
• Once you start developing your Hub proposal, if you find that the Sponsor or Subrecipient does not appear to be listed in the Hub, complete a request to register a new Sponsor or a new Subrecipient (see quick link above).
• Proposals can take a few days to fully route through department/college/other leadership for administrative approvals. OSRAA recommends you route seven (7) or more business days prior to a submission deadline to ensure you can meet internal review timelines and receive a full compliance review.
