NU-RES, in conjunction with partners in various administrative offices and ITS, have built tools — eCD & eCLAWs, and are in development of ePAWs — that will automate our shared administrative functions.
eCD (electronic Conflict Disclosures), eCLAWs (electronic Contract and Legal Agreement Workflow system) and ePAWs (electronic Proposal and Award Workflow system) are integrated, role-based software applications designed to automate processing administrative transactions and manage institutional reviews. Each application provides real-time information to help meet operational needs and inform data based decisions.
We welcome your feedback and look forward to learning from your experiences using these applications – together we can make it better!
For questions regarding eCD eCLAWs ePAWs please contact the NU-RES Help Center.
Electronic Conflict Disclosure (eCD)
Northeastern University’s Compliance Department, the Office of the General Counsel, and Northeastern University Research Enterprise Services (NU-RES) collaborated to design an automated, real-time, accurate and flexible conflict disclosure system that enhances the University’s ability to manage potential conflicts within a wide range of critical functions. The result is eCD: a new electronic Conflict Disclosure system.
eCD Disclosers: To submit your electronic conflict of interest disclosure:

Electronic Proposal and Award Workflow System (ePAWs)
Northeastern University has embarked on a project to develop a software application to replace the current Coeus proposal/award database, enhance the current ePAWs routing form, and automate the submission and review process for non-financial transactions that require institutional approval.
Development of the application continues, with user acceptance testing estimated in Summer/Fall 2024.
