DASH Research

In alignment with the University of Tennessee System (UT System or UTSA), Strategic Plan and under the umbrella of the Dynamic Administration Systems for Higher Ed (DASH) program, the Huron Research Suite will expand research capabilities and ensure administrative excellence through the use of a modern, cloud based solution for “managing the business of research”.

The DASH Research Project launched in the summer of 2023 will implement the various HRS modules by the early of 2027.

The DASH Research Grants and Agreements system will facilitate routing, review, approval, and submission of proposals.
