Summary
The Research Project Management System (RPMS) was previously developed as a quick PHP tool to track engagement activity within the Lab. We are re-developing the tool now that we have had time to use the first version and have been able to define what changes and improvements are needed and wanted. Some layout changes and increased functional abilities are expected to be made in this version, including data expansion and re-organization improvements.
Goals
- Improve administrative and technical internal resources by creating user-friendly tools that can deliver the needed relevant and analytical data.
- Simplify the data entry portion of new user information for an engagement. Improve the online form to a point where an outside user could enter his/her own data to apply for various lab services.
- Include additional services in the RPMS system that are not currently connected.
