IMPORTANT - A request for service is NOT an order. Even though products and services may have prices attached to them, no payments are required or accepted as part of the request. A specialist will review your request and contact you to confirm your request and the associated prices for the items. Subsequently, the request is converted to an order which is sent to you for acceptance and/or payment.
OPM (Online Proposal Management) is a full-featured, web-based, multi-lingual
proposal management system suitable for the end-to-end administration of any proposal request,
submission, appraisal, selection and budgeting process, through to reporting, report review,
approval, dissemination, and discussion.
It can be used for:
- Grants & loans programs
- Screening of applicants
- Project Approval processes
- Policy proposal consultation
- Calls for conference papers or journal articles
- Any initiative with similar workflow processes
The public side of OPM provides a complete online worksite module for a project's home
location, the associated calls for proposals, and public discussion. The secure administration
side of OPM offers full-featured online appraisal workflow and communication for the end-to-end
management of proposals and reports.
- Coordinators use the OPM administration Website to set up and manage all
online aspects of a program on behalf of a Program Committee
- Proponents submit proposals to the OPM Public Website, and may
participate in online discussions through OPM
- Reviewers use the ranking and commenting facilities of OPM to assess
proposals against criteria set by the Coordinators
Optionally, OPM can offer public access to accepted proposals and reports, as well as
facilitate public dialogue around the issues being addressed in the proposals and/or project
reports. It also supports a web interface to external email lists for targeted communication
involving the Program Committee, Coordinators, Reviewers, and the public.
In general, OPM allows organizations to do these online:
- Set Up Programs and Calls For Proposal
- Receive and Review Proposals
- Summarize Proposal Reviews for Decision
- Select Successful Proposals
- Schedule Disbursements and Track Budget
- Notify Proponents
- Accept and Review Reports
