What’s Curvita

We have supplanted multiple Graduate Programs Office databases with a single data management instrument named Curvita.

Curvita is a data management system which works as a single hub for managing faculty and departmental data through its web-based interface.  Curvita’s purpose is to combine data from separate systems, link them together in a single centralized system, and leverage the data into NIH biosketches and T32 training grant tables.

1)    Direct web accessible – just paste the following link into your browser:

http://somcurveweb.eservices.virginia.edu/

2)    Secure access via Netbadge and your usual UVa login ID and password

3)    Citations importation from PubMed including:

1. PMIDs and PMCIDs
2. Full references
3. Abstracts
4. Permits one-tick selection and de-selection of articles for display

4)    Biosketch creation – autoformatted for NIH or NSF – output in MSWord or PDF.

5)    Research Faculty Directory (RFD) simplification – faculty can now update their RFD listing by directly editing information in Curvita which is then ported to the RFD.

6)    Web pages – BIMS and other web pages will port information from Curvita

7)    Training Grants – PI or administrator can generate all T32 Tables via the web interface.

• Providing the introduction of Curvita to faculty and staff
• Resolving data-entry issues.
• Resolving Curvita-to-RFD migration issues
