Streamlyne Proposal Development (PD) User Manual – Posted 7/26/2023

The Streamlyne Proposal Development (PD) User Manual provides detailed step by step instructions on how to create and route Proposal Development documents for approval and submission. The Proposal Development (PD) document is the proposal development and routing document for each application Iowa State University (ISU) or the Iowa State University Foundation (ISUF) submits for external sponsored funding or a gift.  The data entered on the PD is validated, routed for initial review, routed for final review and workflow approvals, and submitted to the sponsor.

Streamlyne Quick Proposal (QP) User Manual – Posted 1/2/2024

The Streamlyne Quick Proposal (QP) User Manual & Quick Proposal Quick Start Guide provides detailed step by step instructions on how to request both Material Transfer Agreements (MTA’s) and Non-disclosure Agreements (NDAs).  MTAs are material transfer agreements which allow for the transfer of materials such as biological organisms, vectors, germ plasm, etc. between entities and specify the rights and responsibilities of each party.  NDAs are non-disclosure agreements (also called confidentiality agreements) and specify each party’s rights and responsibilities with regard to confidential information. The data entered in the Quick Proposal is validated and submitted to the Office of Innovation Commercialization Industry Contracts Team for review.  For additional information or questions, please contact the Industry Contracts Team at industry-contracts@iastate.edu.

Streamlyne S2S Resource: Workarounds, Tips & Tricks – Updated Frequently

The Streamlyne S2S Help resource provides notes and tops for submission issues OSPA and the Streamlyne users have discovered about S2S submissions in our collective experience.  They aren’t necessarily evident to the PD preparer, and the warning and error checks within Streamlyne may not catch them.   This list will be updated as issues are discovered or resolved, or once their existence is addressed in long term resources.

Updated Streamlyne Launch Date

Please be aware that we are pushing the original July 5, 2023, launch date for the Streamlyne Proposal Development system to August 1, 2023.  This is a joint decision of OSPA, OIC-OIPTT and the ISU Foundation.

As many of you know, our first step in the Streamlyne Proposal Development (PD) Implementation was a pilot that began May 15, 2023. The pilot progressed more slowly than expected, and some outstanding items still need to be addressed before we feel comfortable moving into full implementation.  None of this dampens our enthusiasm and excitement about moving forward with a new system that will improve quality of proposals and provides an enhanced user experience for Iowa State University faculty and staff.

Please review the Cutover Calendar carefully.  Please note that we are moving forward with our proposal submission process and deadline changes.  These will start on July 5, 2023, as planned, regardless of whether a proposal is routed using a GoldSheet or a Streamlyne PD document.

 

 

Change is Coming: GoldSheet and Cardinal Sheet will be Sunsetted in June 2023

After 20+ years of service to Iowa State, the GoldSheet and Cardinal Sheet will be discontinued in June of 2023.  These internal routing forms and related systems will be replaced with Streamlyne, an enhanced “one-stop shop” proposal development and routing system that will offer campus research faculty and administrators an abundance of new features and functionalities.

With Streamlyne:

  • Former processes will be enhanced
  • Sponsored programs and gifts will be in one system
  • Budget development will include salary integration
  • Requests for NDAs and MTAs will be initiated
  • A dashboard will provide process visibility at all submission stages
  • A system-to-system (S2S) portal for grants.gov will remove duplicate entry

Introductory demonstrations will be held starting in December 2022 and user training will begin in Spring 2023.  Additional details and registration openings will be announced in the coming weeks.
