Based on priorities established by the Business Steering Committee and user feedback, the GMAS 2.0 project team is preparing new system-changes to be released for April 11, 2016.

This release focuses on delivering necessary system upgrades in order to continue to support System to System functionality within GMAS. In addition to the existing S2S forms, GMAS will support 5 new NIH forms, including:

• PHS 398 Research Plan
• PHS 398 Cover Page Supplement
• PHS 398 Career Development Award Supplemental Form
• PHS Inclusion Enrollment Report
• PHS Assignment Request Form

The GMAS team continues along the convert track, and users can expect to see some more converted screens in the coming release. These screens include Request List, View/Edit IACUC Approval screens and View /Edit Admin Team screens. All new screens will have the updated look and feel as well as the optimized backend technology.

The Letter of Credit module that is currently in GMAS will be retired following the April release, as per the recommendation of the Business Steering Committee as well as usability tracking and user feedback. Users can also expect to see enhancements, such as improved performance of the Request homepage and refinements to the Segment homepage in response to user feedback from the December release.

Look for more information on release 1_41 on this blog and in the release notes to come!
