Decades of Research Administration Experience
In 1994, OHSU researcher Christian Harker, Ph.D., wanted to spend less time faxing forms and more time on research. So he founded Cayuse, and using an SBIR grant, he created the industry’s first grant application software with system-to-system submission to Grants.gov.
