All of the reports that have been accessed via the public OSPA website will now be available in the online portal for UK faculty and staff. Additionally, the portal will contain more reports than previously available and will have interactive dashboards that are updated monthly.

For the most part you will see the same data and aggregation of sponsored projects in the new portal. However, due to improved data quality processes, data clean‐up, and improved reporting, some monthly reports may differ from previously provided reports. Some of this has to do with the timing of when reports were previously published, and others are due to changes in when budgets were available. While monthly reports may differ slightly from previous reporting, the underlying aggregated award totals are the same and accurate for colleges and departments.
