CARA
Baylor's Research Administration System
CARA (Compliance and Research Administration) is Baylor’s electronic research administration system, encompassing the proposal process, all sponsored project awards, subawards, agreements, and more.
Baylor is currently using:
- Grants - Pre-award and Post-award functions
- Agreements – All research contracting processes
- Conflict of Interest – OAI Disclosures and Management Plans
OVPR is pleased to announce implementation of a new CARA module, Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC, or Effort) in the summer of 2024. CARA ECC will elevate Baylor’s ability to track and report effort in compliance.
- Facilitate timely completion of effort reporting
- Simplified PI and URA interaction
- Access a single system of record across disparate data sources (CARA Grants and LD data)
- Integration with payroll and research admin systems that acts as an extension of source systems and serves as the official record
