About PRISM

The PRISM (Programmed Research Information System at Michigan) database contains administrative and financial data on proposals and awards processed by DRDA. All proposals and awards are keyword coded, enabling searches on the sponsored activities of the faculty. Limited searching is available via the Web. Complex searches are available via Business Objects.

DRDA conducts searches free of charge for University units, faculty, and primary research staff.
