Research Administration Management (RAM) Reports were developed through a partnership with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and Information Technology Services (ITS) to provide an improved tool to manage sponsored project financials.
RAM Reports provides both campus and central offices with the same view of financial data to improve transparency and streamline processes with sponsored projects financial monitoring and reporting. Click on the icon below to go to RAM Reports.

RAM Reports deliver financial information via an enhanced reporting tool and offer a more robust experience managing sponsored projects financials. The information in RAM Reports is pulled just as Infoporte, directly from ConnectCarolina and RAMSeS and data is one day behind what you see in ConnectCarolina. Future enhancements to add functionality to RAM Reports are already in progress to further assist in this endeavor.
Note: The RAM reports Personnel tab is currently designed and intended to provide a listing of Salaries, Fringe Benefits, and Stipends paid from the award or the project depending on the view selected. It is not currently designed to display budgeted or projected salaries, fringe, or stipends.

Why is the Voucher ID for a transaction not linking to the ConnectCarolina page?All vouchers are deleted from ConnectCarolina after 90 days, so if the voucher is over 90 days there will be no link in the RAM Report. |

|
Why cannot I not see the AR tab in my project search?The AR tab is only available on the Award pages, it will not show up on the Project pages. |
What is the difference in Personnel Totals and Personnel Monthly?Personnel Totals show the breakout of Salary and Fringe for both posted payment and projected payments. Personnel Monthly show the total for each person listed on the project for past, current and future months. |
Do the personnel tabs show all personnel assigned to that project?If you are viewing the Award level data, then the personnel tabs show all personnel listed on the project. If you are viewing Project specific data, then these tabs show information only for personnel associated with that specific project. |
