What is Curvita?

A Brief Introduction to 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.

Curvita Benefits (relative to past databases)
