PIER Standard Network
Still comparing earnings distribution and effort
documents with those of your colleagues? Not
sure who in your group is holding the original copy?
Deploy PIER Standard Network and provide the entire
workgroup with access to your electronic grant and
personnel data. PIER Standard Network gives
everyone in your group all the tools, power, and
functionality of
PIER
Standard Workstation, but in a single shared networked
database environment. PIER Standard Network
gives everyone the ability to access and manage your personnel, grant applications, projects, and
awards within a Department, Division, or Center.
This suite consists of the queries, forms, reports,
and full-featured PIER Control Panel for streamlined
management of Program, Projects, Personnel, and
Effort records. You'll be amazed how your
workgroup's productivity can increase when everyone
is reading from the same page.
Effort Reporting
Has Just-in-Time
effort reporting become a group effort? Still
converting effort reports
from Percentage of Effort to
Person Months? PIER Standard Network lets
anyone in your workgroup produce "Other Support Page"
reports at the click of a button, and in the precise
format requested. With PIER Standard Network,
you'll be confident in your staff's ability to
produce timely and accurate effort reports.
Project Management
Problems with due dates? Missed Project
expirations causing unnecessary cost-transfer
entries in your workgroup? PIER Standard
Network brings an
end to these woes. PIER's extensive reports
can be produced by anyone in your workgroup, showing precisely which Projects are ending, and
who will be impacted.
Effort Management
Has your group lost track of effort commitments?
Significant effort reductions require funding agency
approval. Optimize staff productivity, and
keep the hard copy in your file cabinet. PIER
Standard Network lets your workgroup track the
original effort request or Just-in-Time approval,
along with the investigator's current effort
commitment. Track historical effort
commitments between award periods, along with their
corresponding salary and fringe benefit value.
Easily transfer this effort history to the next
non-competing funding period for life-of-the-Program
tracking. With PIER, your entire workgroup is always up to
speed.
Personnel Management
Still relying on institutional payroll reports
to know who's being paid from your Projects?
Paying stipends to students and fellows from
training grants or fellowships? PIER lets your
workgroup
track all personnel - irrespective
of how they're paid. Let your workgroup staff
create and assign
categories to all personnel, and report them as
needed. PIER's Control Panel allows your
workgroup staff to selectively filter
personnel into view based on Category, Department,
Division, or Area, and produce impressive and
detailed telephone lists, or labels for folders and
mailings.
