Kuali Research Training

Please note that we are upgrading Kuali Research and migrating to a new database. A blackout period will occur between August 4-9th, 2026 during which Kuali Research will be unavailable. If you need to submit a proposal during the blackout, contact Research Services (ors@sfu.ca) to access manual support for completing your submission.

Kuali Research is a cloud-based platform customized for 51猎奇入口processes. The system provides Faculty and Administrators real-time visibility into the status of proposals within their purview. Review workflows are managed directly within the system.
