The University of South Carolina Electronic Research Administration (USCeRA) is the web-based electronic research administration system used at USC. USCeRA is the central system through which USC performs proposal and award administration functions including
- USC electronic proposal routing and approval
- Electronic award account set-up
- Searchable proposal and award data
Drawing from faculty-maintained research profile information, USCeRA also powers USC’s searchable Faculty Expertise Database (FacED), a tool designed to foster research collaboration and to showcase the wide array of expertise and talent offered by USC faculty. By unifying all of these vital functions into one easily accessible web-based system, USCeRA saves valuable faculty time in developing and managing sponsored awards, and serves as a valuable tool for researchers system-wide.
