In October 2016, Pitt launched a new university-wide project to develop an electronic research management solution - the PERISTM portal.
The goals for the PERISTM portal are to:
- Reduce administrative burden for faculty
- Increase efficiency
- Enhance transparency to researchers and administrators
- Integrate the University’s research operations
- Create a user-friendly system
- Promote sustainability through electronic processes
- Facilitating research of impact
- Building foundational strength
The PERISTM portal also supports the 2028 Plan for Pitt.
