Overview
The focus of this documentation is usage of the Kuali Coeus software application to accomplish research administration tasks.
From a high level, Kuali Coeus consists of four main modules covering the following four functional subject matter areas: Proposal Preparation and Submission; Proposal Tracking and Negotiation; Awards, Subawards, Report Tracking and Close-Out; and Research Compliance that interact with each other. Shared amongst them all are Database, Infrastructure, Rice, Reporting and Workflow-related components.

To maximize what you get out of reading this documentation, it is important that your understanding include two key points about Kuali Coeus software:
• Kuali Coeus is also an ongoing software project, and therefore it is helpful to know a little bit about the project itself that produces the software you will be using.
• The Kuali Foundation is the organization that is responsible for coordinating the software project, so similarly it is helpful for you to know a little bit about this organization as well.
The next two subsections provide a brief summary of the Foundation and the Project.
