Understanding the IUIE for Post-Award Administration - Finding Your Data and Saving your Queries
Sassafras M035

IUIE, the IU Information Environment, is the university's data warehouse. Because there is so much data available in the IUIE, it can be cumbersome and daunting to search for data on your unit's awards. This educational session will demonstrate where to find C&G data in the IUIE for your units, and how to produce and save queries to improve your productivity and simplify your experience with IUIE. In addition to the IUIE, the research offices have created a new tool for querying and graphing C&G data at the unit level. This is the perfect tool to graph your unit's proposal and award data for your dean's or chairperson's annual report.
