Mission-driven

Customer-focused

Customer First

At Cayuse, our mission to empower research organizations to advance their impact on science, discovery, and society means that the needs of our customers always comes first. From development, to implementation, to providing continuing support, we follow a customer-first philosophy to ensure our solutions empower your organization to the fullest.

Development

Designed by researchers, for researchers, Cayuse is dedicated to providing research administration solutions that meet the specific needs of your institution within a user-friendly interface.

Implementation

We know that implementations can be intimidating; that’s why our implementation teams are devoted to a collaborative, smooth implementation process that works best for your organization.

Support

We keep our customers first long past implementation; Our support resources aim not only to keep customers satisfied, but also to encourage collaboration and connection between all members of the research community. 

Built by researchers, for researchers

Our journey began with founder Chris Harker, a researcher, faculty member, and lab director at Oregon Health & Science University. Frustrated with the lack of connectivity between research administration processes and proposal submissions, he sought a solution that would improve the research lifecycle for researchers and administrators alike.

This spirit of improving the research experience for everyone lives on today through the dedication of all Cayuse employees. Our staff includes many former researchers and research administrators because we believe that no one understands the research lifecycle better than those with industry experience.
