Frequently Asked Questions about COEUS
No problem! You are receiving an error message because students do not have COEUS access by default and need to be added into the system manually by the COEUS helpdesk. Please fill out the COEUS access form to request COEUS access.
This often happens when a proposal is copied from an old proposal with different budget dates. Please email coeus-help@drexel.edu who can quickly correct the dates for you on the back end.
The Grants Administration team can help you prepare certain parts of your proposal. A list of available services is listed on the Grants Administration webpage. You can find your Program Administrator here.
The Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) is responsible for providing administrative and regulatory support to the Drexel University Institutional Review Boards (IRB). HRPP provides guidance on the responsible conduct of human research to Drexel's IRB members, faculty, investigators and their research assistants. You can reach HRPP at HRPP@drexel.edu and you can find helpful information on the HRPP webpage.
Sometimes your COEUS record will appear to be locked if another user is currently accessing it or when you have exited the record incorrectly. This can often occur when you use the back button in the system or when you close your browser without logging out of COEUS. Please try to log out of COEUS completely and close your browser entirely (not just the COEUS tab) before trying again. If you are still having trouble, please contact coeus-help@drexel.edu and we will be able to manually remove you from the record.
No problem! If you have performed a search for a Sponsor or Organization (be sure to try a search with the asterisk* before or after all or part of the sponsor name; i.e.: *Penn*, *Pennsylvania, Penn*) in Coeus and cannot find in COEUS, please submit the form here to request a new sponsor. Using the asterisk symbol (AKA wildcard symbol) will allow you to search the COEUS Sponsor Table for entries that contain specific letters, which will give you a broader array of results.
If the COEUS Lite page will not load when you launch COEUS, it may be a VPN issue if you are off campus. Please refer to the Drexel IT webpage on how to connect to the VPN.
