Coeus @ the University of Tennessee

Coeus is an electronic research administration system implemented by the University of Tennessee to support researchers and administrators in proposal development and pre- and post-award management. Its purpose is to simplify and streamline award acquisition and administration. Coeus has multiple categories of users. Please note the differences to access the appropriate area for your needs.

Coeus "Lite"

Coeus "Lite" is a user-friendly web browser-based version of Coeus designed for the PI/Co-PI to develop proposals and budgets and submit them for local routing and approval. To access the application, click here then select the "Launch Coeus Lite" link.

Coeus "Premium"

Coeus "Premium" is the full Java-based web application primarily used by "back-office" personnel (business managers, sponsored programs staff) who maintain proposal and award data. It is also used for proposals with complex budgets (multi-unit/campus). To access the application, click here then select "Launch Coeus Java Now."

Both Coeus Lite and Premium can be accessed anytime from any computer with an active Internet connection. To access user documentation or request training assistance, visit our Coeus User Support page.
