The current version of Coeus will not run under the new Windows 7 operating system. Please do not install or upgrade to Windows 7 until UMB and MIT have tested and certified that Coeus can run under this new OS. Coeus continues to run on Windows XP and Vista, or Mac OS X 10.3 – 10.6.
You are now required to identify whether or not you are applying for Stimulus funding (funding made available as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Coeus is UMB's fully integrated software solution that supports the research community's needs to electronically create and route proposals for sponsored research project grants to external sponsors, especially the Federal Government.
Coeus is accessible through the UMB Portal to faculty and research administrators with internet access and who either have the required Java Run Time application on their computer or sufficient privileges/rights to download and install the correct Java version. Coeus provides the ability for research faculty to work on the science concurrent with an administrator or designee working on other areas, such as the budget. This is a vastly different model than similar software packages that allow only one user to work on a proposal at a given point in time. The electronic version of the completed proposal is subsequently routed using the Coeus approval engine for submission to the sponsor either via Grants.gov (the Internet-based clearinghouse used to manage the posting and submission of grant opportunities on behalf of twenty-six Federal sponsors), or using direct mail if an electronic submission option is not currently available for a given sponsor.
Coeus is composed of three main modules: Together these three modules will enable a direct link between the proposal and the subsequently funded award. Once these data are interfaced with eUMB Financials and made accessible through a reporting mechanism, the UMB community will be provided a clear, concise and timely view of vital pre-award and post-award statistics. In addition a fourth module, Subcontracts, will track subrecipient agreements issued by UMB under sponsored projects.
