What is Cayuse?

Cayuse is a cloud-based software application for sponsored project management and compliance management. Rice's Cayuse applications include Sponsored Projects (SP), Proposals (S2S, formerly known as Cayuse 424), and Human Ethics (Cayuse IRB).

Rice University faculty, staff, and students can log in to Cayuse (http://rice.cayuse424.com/) using the Rice NetID and password (Single Sign-On) without submitting the Cayuse user access request; however, if you are a Rice service provider or academic visitor or have not received your Rice NetID, please submit the Cayuse User Access Request Form to gain access.
