Fibi Research Administration Software vs OneRamp ERA Suite

Fibi Research Administration Software is an electronic research administration platform for academic institutions, medical centers and research organizations. It brings grants, compliance and research agreements into one system, covering work from funding discovery through project closeout. Fibi Grants handles proposal development, grant calls, budgets, award setup, reporting and award closeout. Compliance capabilities cover IRB, IACUC, IBC, COI and Export Control workflows. Fibi Agreements supports creating, negotiating, reviewing and approving agreements, with document generation, routing and version control. AI-powered workflows are advertised for reducing manual entry. The Integration Suite connects ERP and financial, HR and identity, SSO, sponsor and document systems through REST, SFTP, database and webhook connectors, with scheduled or real-time bidirectional synchronization. Deployment can be cloud-hosted or on-premises. Pricing is on request, with no free plan; a standard implementation can take as little as two months.

OneRamp ERA Suite is a portal for institutions managing research administration requirements at federal, state, local, and institutional levels. Its modules cover pre-award proposal routing and management, conflict of interest reporting, IRB and IACUC protocol submission and review, biosafety compliance, and radiation safety. Optional sections include funding announcements, core facilities, research communications, and events; the company can also customize solutions or create modules. Users complete research administration forms and applications online and route them electronically for approval. The suite provides deadline and tracking reports, reporting by institution, college, or department, and process metrics. Automated reminders cover reviews, revisions, and required updates such as annual reviews. It also includes committee meeting management and committee reviews. OneRamp is available over an internet connection and designed for Android, iOS, desktop PCs, and tablets. The company says it pursued HECVAT and SOC-2 certifications, but does not state that either was achieved.
