OneRamp ERA Suite vs Streamlyne Research

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.

Streamlyne Research is cloud-based eRA software for managing proposals, awards, negotiations, compliance committees, and reporting. Its twelve modules let institutions begin with selected capabilities and add others later. Pre-award tools provide sponsor-specific forms and budgets, system-to-system Grants.gov submission, a Proposal Log, and an institutional form builder. Award management links negotiations, funding actions, report obligations, and outgoing subawards to proposal records. Compliance workflows cover IRB, IACUC, conflicts of interest, IBC biosafety, and export control, with protocols connected to proposals and awards. The Lyn assistant can draft budgets, compare agreements with institutional policies using cited reasoning, and answer questions about proposals and records. Reporting offers more than 130 ready-made reports, drag-and-drop or SQL report building, dashboards, scheduled email delivery, and exports to CSV, PDF, text, HTML, XML, and Excel. Integrations use ETL or REST with systems including Workday, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Banner, CITI, and One Solution. Pricing depends on institution size and modules and is available on request.
