The Research Foundation (RF) Business System (Oracle) and reporting environment will soon be upgraded to version R12. Oracle is the business system that houses databases and processes transactions for RF human resources, grants administration, and purchasing/payables. In addition to enhanced functionality, the upgrade transitions the PIAI and Quick View report applications to the new RF Report Center set to go live on Monday, May 5.

The upgrade will require the RF Business System to shut down at the close of business on Friday, April 25, and remain down through Friday, May 2. During this shutdown period, Sponsored Programs Operations (SPO) will not be able to process RF transactions.

Please view the schedule of submission deadlines for processing of RF transactions prior to the shutdown. To minimize delays or issues, you are encouraged to submit paperwork as soon as possible before the established due dates. Thank you.
