PIER Standard Workstation
All on your own? Add PIER Standard
Workstation to your desktop and get the help you need.
PIER Standard Workstation is a complete suite of
personnel and grant management tools that empower
sole-responsible administrators to effectively
manage 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. Maintain and manage data on
your local workstation, or on your network server - PIER
Standard Workstation is capable for both.
Effort Reporting
Tired of the legwork involved in Just-in-Time
effort reporting? Need effort reports
formatted in PHS 398 Other Support format, displayed as Percentage of Effort or as
Person Months? PIER Standard Workstation
enables production of Other Support Page
reports at the click of a button, and in the precise
format requested. Manage individual Projects
distinctly from their linked parent Programs.
Never struggle with multi-project Programs again.
Project Management
Problems with due dates? Missed Project
expirations causing unnecessary cost-transfer
entries? PIER Standard Workstation brings an
end to these woes. PIER's extensive reports
show you precisely which Projects are ending, and
who will be impacted.
Effort Management
Losing track of effort commitments?
Spending too much time preparing PHS 398 Other
Support format reports? Stop running to the file cabinet to
pull the hard copy. PIER lets you track and
report in PHS 398 Other Support page format, 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, you're 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 you
track all personnel on your projects - irrespective
of how they're paid. Create and assign
categories to all personnel, and report them as
needed. PIER's Control Panel lets you filter
personnel into view based on Category, Department,
Division, or Area. Produce impressive and
detailed telephone lists, or labels for folders and
mailings.
