What is InfoEd?
InfoEd is an electronic research management system that allows you to:
- develop research proposals for federal and non-federal funding opportunities
- submit proposals to online sponsor systems without duplicating efforts
- complete and manage your financial conflicts of interest
InfoEd also provides a more streamlined process for proposal tracking to assist with more efficient completion of proposals. In Phase II, beginning in FY25, UToledo will implement InfoEd’s post-award management system, resulting in faster account setup.
What is the timeline for implementation?
A staggered rollout schedule during FY24 will be used to best support new users.

How will InfoEd work with my IRB, IACUC, and IBC protocols?
InfoEd receives updated protocol information nightly from OneAegis (a.k.a. IRB Manager). Proposal-protocol associations can be made by investigators and staff in InfoEd on the proposal record. That association displays changes to the protocol, including personnel changes and status updates, within the InfoEd proposal record. Assistance will be available!
What changes for me, the researcher?
Researchers currently complete a proposal intake form, an endorsement form, an excel budget form for internal use, and documents to meet the sponsor proposal requirements -- and typically this information must be replicated in online sponsor forms.
In InfoEd a researcher will accomplish all of these functions one time directly in the InfoEd record, with the endorsment process accomplished through InfoEd routing. For federal submissions, most will be sent directly from the InfoEd record to grants.gov with system-to-system (S2S) submission.
How was InfoEd chosen by UToledo?
UToledo undertook a selection and procurement project to address critical needs in research administration software. These included:
- development, endorsement, and submission of external grant proposals
- award tracking and post-award management of sponsored projects
- disclosures of financial conflicts of interest (COI)
Key stakeholders from IT, RSP, compliance areas, and the researcher community evaluated responses to a nationwide Request for Proposals. They attended live demonstrations of competing products, compiled evaluations, and chose InfoEd for its flexibility across multiple modules. InfoEd is also compatible with OneAegis (formerly known as IRB Manager), currently used to manage protocol submission and review.
